Synopsis:	Based around the lives of Fathers Ted Crilly, Dougal Maguire and Jack Hackett, three Irish priests who have been banished from the mainland. They live on Craggy Island with their slightly crazed and tea-addicted house keeper, Mrs Doyle. Dougal isn't the brightest man ever, Ted has a knack of getting into awkward situations and the less said about Father Jack the alcoholic swear machine the better. Despite being in the middle of nowhere the trio find plenty of ways of causing chaos and confusion.
BSG Review:	Father Ted is a much loved and highly regarded sitcom with clever plots and funny characters (especially the exceedingly dim Dougal). We think that Father Ted is quite rightly considered a modern classic, something the BBC2 audience agree with because, even though it is a bit of a cult comedy, it managed to be voted the 11th Best British Sitcom ...ever!
Notes:	An American re-make of Father Ted is apparently in production... watch this space for more info.
