Amazon.co.uk Review

Father Ted is one of those rare sitcoms that defies categorisation--it owes as much to Flann O'Brien and Samuel Beckett as it does to Monty Python--and its blend of satire, character comedy and anarchic surrealism has made it a cult favourite around the world. Exiled to remote Craggy Island, Father Ted shares a house with the breathtakingly stupid Father Dougal Maguire and the constantly inebriated Father Jack, who has a small vocabulary and a taste for furniture polish. Their housekeeper, Mrs Doyle, takes care of them with a never-ending supply of tea and sandwiches: "Go on now, Father, won't you try one? They're diagonal." Together they fight boredom by dressing up as Elvis, startling ducks at the fair and provoking nuns. This set compiles the entire three-year series. --Simon Leake

5.0 out of 5 stars Father Ted - Series 1 thru' 3 & specials boxed set, 24 Dec 2002

By	Mr. P. Harvey "Phil" (Cornwall, UNITED KINGDOM) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This boxed set comprise 4 DVDs covering series 1 (6 episodes), 2-prt 1 (5 episodes + A Christmassy Ted special), 2-prt 2 (5 episodes) and 3 (8 episodes), including specials and bonus material; over 10 hours total playing time and a garranteed future comedy classic.

The series revolves around the adventures of three eccentric Catholic priests and a housekeeper on a remote, God-forsaken, rocky island located off the western coast Ireland called Craggy Island.

Father Ted Crilly, Father Dougal McGuire and Father Jack Hackett are looked after by Mrs Doyle, the hardworking lynchpin and housekeeper of the Parochial House where the quartet live.

Father Ted dreams of a parish in Las Vegas; Father Dougal has trouble distinguishing dreams from reality; Father Jack is a perpetual drunk and leacher, and Mrs Doyle has a fixation for tea-making and DIY.

Their unbelievable and hilarious exploits bring them into contact with the other crazy inhabitants of the island and often into frequent conflict with their Bishop who would prefer to see them all go to Hell, if only he could arrange it.

Father Ted takes an irreverent but very funny look at religion in the much the same way as 'All Gas and Gaitors' and 'Oh Brother' did several decades before.

A must-have DVD set for any serious collector of comedy.

5.0 out of 5 stars God Bless Father Ted!! Excellent!!, 3 Feb 2005

By	John Kimble (N. Ireland) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This definitely has to be one of the best sit coms of all time. Featuring the long-suffering Father Ted, the hapless Father Dougal Maguire, Father Jack Hacket, who likes the odd drink and good old housekeeper Mrs Doyle, who seems to do everything from tea making to roof repairs.

Together they all live in the parochial house on the godforsaken island of Craggy Island, a place populated by many eccentrics where the only place of interest is 'The Holy Stone of Clonrichert' basically a stone on a pedestal.

The box set contains 4 disks
Disk 1: The 6 episode from series 1
Disk 2: 5 episodes from series 2 and 'A Christmassy Ted'
Disk 3: Contains the remaining 5 episodes of series 2
Disk 4: All 8 episodes from series 3.

Each episode is a mixture of side splitting comedy and slapstick humour following the clergy through various improbable and farcical situations. They are kept in check by the hard line Bishop Len Brennan, and occasionally come into competition with the residence of the Rugged Island parochial house Father Dick Burn et al.

The humour is light hearted, timeless, original, classic and just pure brilliance, poking fun at irish rural life, priests, the Catholic church and Catholicism in general.

This was a hugely successful series and I think the 3rd series is the best of the lot. This is definitely a box set worth owning, brilliant!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars timeless, 22 Jul 2004

By A Customer

Well, it almost hurts to watch it. Dermot Morgan will be immortal in my books. I remember the shock when I heard that he had died. But he left a seamless legacy. He is the one and only Father Ted!

What can I say that the reviewers haven't already said? Every single episode ever made is spread over 4 DVDs so you don't have to worry about what eposides it contains and misses out. A Christmassy Ted is also included. The image and sound are perfect throughout. Not many special features but given the quality of the problem it doen's knock a star off my review. One thing that was a bit annoying was having to guess which buttons worked the features and secne selection of the menu screen. but let's face it...it's Father Ted! Who needs to skip to scenes when we can watch the whole wonderful show!

Each character is just brilliant with the introduction of some classics in series 3 (Pat Mustard being my fave) For those who are a bit vauge on the best moments, here are a few:

Graham Norton/Father Noel Furlong doing river dance in the tiny caravan. Ted meeting Richard Wilson "I don't believe it!". Kicking Bishop Brennan up the a*se. "Do you still have the big ole hairy a*se?!" Priests getting lost in Ireland's biggest lingerie section. Lent. Thse toy cows are small but the ones out there are far away.... and last but by no means least the 'Annual-All-Priests-5-Aside-Over-75-Indoor-Football-Challenge-Match (Againt Rugged Island)'

Not much else to say, but to be honest if you've checked the DVD on Amazon chances are you're already going to buy it and no matter what I say doesn't need said.
