Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Is it a sitcom? Is it a serious documentary about the Catholic priesthood? No, it's Father Ted. Right-thinking people everywhere cheered in the 1980s as The Young Ones beat the sitcom format senseless, yet the once twee genre returned reinvigorated in the 90s, first as Men Behaving Badly (1991-98), then the affably surreal Father Ted. Ted's the normal one, as evidenced by his moving Song for Europe entry, "My Lovely Horse"--a modern classic if ever there wasn't one. In total there are five cassock-splittingly funny episodes of C4's finest comedy on The Very Best of Father Ted. Gasp as "poor idiot boy" Father Dougal becomes a rollerblading fiend in "Cigarettes And Alcohol And Rollerblading"; be amazed as super Ted saves Craggy Island from an deadly milk-float in the stunning blockbuster sequel "Speed 3" (well, it's faster and more fun than Speed 2); fall off the window-sill as devoted housekeeper Mrs Doyle utters the line that's almost Shakespearean in its sublimity, "Cup of tea, Father?". Meanwhile, Father Jack doesn't need an excuse to hit the bottle (or smash one over someone's head) in any episode. Not saying Mass has probably never been so much fun. --Gary S. Dalkin


Synopsis

The five greatest episodes taken from all three series. 'Competition Time', 'Cigarettes And Alcohol', 'Song For Europe', 'Speed 3' and 'The Mainland'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wot no Len?, 25 Feb 2001
By A Customer
I am a huge fan of Father Ted and was delighted to get this video for Xmas. But I was a little disappointed by the choice of episodes in the compilation.

I personally would not include "The Mainland" among my favourites, but I acknowledge that that is just a matter of personal taste. However, it is nothing short of a travesty to not include the show's best peripheral character, ie, Bishop Len Brennan. How can such an oversight have occurred?

The other episodes are excellent - especially "A Song for Europe".

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure genius!, 14 Jul 2000
I watched this video when a collegue lent it to me. It was the first time I'd ever watched Father Ted - and I thourougly enjoyed it!

The gags are wild, the characters are crazy and unpredictable (yet quite believable) - you gotta love it!

Favourite bits? Speed 3, Song For Europe and the episode with Richard Wilson (who beats Dermot senseless whenever he says "I don't believe it").

Would make a great DVD if done in the same style as the Men Behaving Badly sets.

5.0 out of 5 stars CRAGGY ISLAND GOLD!, 7 April 2000
By A Customer
Although there are some noticable absences (HELL and NIGHT OF THE NEARLY DEAD are nowhere to be found), this is THE best FATHER TED vid on the market. What else can one say? Oh, and yes it does have the SONG FOR EUROPE one.
