Father Ted
“A real charmer.”
Creator
Arthur Mathews, Graham Linehan
15 wins · 4 nominations
Three priests and a housekeeper are exiled to a remote island off the Irish coast, each for reasons the Church would rather not discuss. 'Father Ted' ran three series and worked as pure farce: Ted is scheming and vain, Dougal is empty, Jack is reduced to four words, and Mrs Doyle will not stop offering tea. Written by Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews, it remains among the most quoted comedies made in Ireland. Dermot Morgan died the day after finishing the final series.

1
Good Luck, Father Ted
Ted gets his chance to be on TV when he is to be interviewed by a magazine programme. But 'FunLand', the most pathetic travelling fair ever conceived has come to Craggy Island, and while Ted is distracted with Father Jack, Dougal seizes his moment of glory.
2
Entertaining Father Stone
The world's most boring priest comes to stay, and he just won't go away. After his worst ever birthday party, Father Ted prays for deliverance from Father Stone, but a lightning strike wasn't what he expected.
3
The Passion of Saint Tibulus
The local cinema is showing a film condemned by the Church for its X-rated and blasphemous depiction of Saint Tibulus. Bishop Brennan is dispatched to the island to ensure that the priests take to the picket line in protest. But their defiant stand only gives more publicity to the film, which becomes an overnight success. It is left to Father Jack to stop the Bishop from sending them packing.
4
Competition Time
It's the 'All Priests Stars In Their Eyes Lookalike Competition', and showbusiness personality Henry Sellers, a former alcoholic, has landed on the island to host the festivities. Father Ted is determined not to go as Mother Teresa again, but he isn't the only one to think of Elvis. It takes some quick thinking to beat Father Byrne's team from nearby Rugged Island.
5
And God Created Woman
A blossoming romance between Father Ted and steamy novelist Polly Clarke threatens to come between a group of visiting nuns and their favourite priest. Among other things, Ted delivers an entire service in a matter of milliseconds, and becomes involved in an armed robbery.
6
Grant Unto Him Eternal Rest
After an overdose of floor polish, Father Jack finally bites the dust, and Ted and Dougal discover they've been left a fortune in his will - providing they allay his fear of being buried alive by spending a night with him in the crypt.
