Father Ted

On Craggy Island, a remote location off Ireland's coast, three banished priests live together and attend to the island’s residents. These misfits attempt to bring stability to the lives of their congregation — even though their own lives are filled with chaos and disharmony.

This award-winning comedy is one of the most popular in Irish TV history. It stars Dermot Morgan, Ardal O’Hanlon, Frank Kelly and Pauline McLynn.
