Amazon.co.uk Review

Father Ted was granted a full 10 episodes for its second series after the enormous success of the original six. Series 2, episodes 1 to 5, offers the first half of the season plus the bonus of the 1996 Christmas Special. The Craggy Island parochial house regulars go straight to "Hell" for the most unbearable caravan holiday. Here Graham Norton makes his first appearance as the excruciatingly enthusiastic Father Noel. Then in a leftover script from series one, "Think Fast, Father Ted" has them attempt to rig a raffle at which some Kraftwerk-inspired priests and the record "Ghost Town" are the only entertainment. Their payback is to be the patsies in a rigged "Song For Europe", offering their version of "My Lovely Horse". Ted, Dougal and Jack manage to ensnare the lives of one bishop each into their "Tentacles of Doom" when the Holy Stone of Clonrichert is blessed with an upgrade to holy status. There's not much holy going on when Father "Damo" appears to teach Dougal all manner of bad habits in "The Old Grey Whistle Theft". Finally "A Christmassy Ted" sees seven priests lost in Ireland's largest lingerie store and Father Tod Unctious trying to steal Ted's Golden Cleric Award with reference to Mission: Impossible. The second series' wonderful parallel universe more than equals that of the first.

On the DVD: From an animated menu fashioned around Mrs Doyle, the only extra is a full-length commentary from co-writer Graham Linehan. As with the previous disc, he's constantly telling jokes and then retracting them along with offering fascinating insights into cameos and dancing auditions. Linehan promises to be more experimental in future commentaries. The picture is naturally in its original 4:3 broadcast ratio. --Paul Tonks

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth 5 billion stars..., 11 Aug 2004
By Ziggy Spaceboy (Germany (Englishman)) - See all my reviews
Quite honestly one of the funniest sitcoms ever made. I really didn't think anything would top the Alan Partridge shows or "The Day Today" when it comes to brilliant, modern comedy but "Father Ted" is just pure class and I haven't really seen a sitcom as funny since it ended besides "I'm Alan Partridge" and "Black Books".
That's not to say that there's a shortage of quality UK comedy because there's been plenty of class shows but none barely come close to the comedy perfection of "Father Ted".

Deserves to be placed alongside legendary sitcoms like Fawlty Towers, Rising Damp, Porridge, Only Fools & Horses, Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em etc, etc...

4.0 out of 5 stars Superb entertainment - bizarre DVD interface!, 28 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This is a hilarious series which exceeds series-1 and that's saying something. However, the disc interface is probably the worst I've experienced. Perhaps the makers thought it would provide a bit of innocent fun for people if none of the controls were labelled and it was totally non-obvious how to access the episodes. The image transfer and audio are excellent though and the optional commentary is enlightening.As to the lack of other extra features: well that would be an ecumenical matter...

4.0 out of 5 stars Great comedy, 27 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Father Ted matured well in this, the second series. There are some classic quotes on this DVD, but do note that it's not the whole of series 2. There is, however, the Christmas Special tagged on the end, which is well worth having. All the Father Ted DVDs are well presented but it would have been nice if some outtakes etc had been put on the disc, rather than just director commentary.

Better than the first series, but not quite as good as the final series, which was just perfection!
