Father Ted - Some of the Best Bits.

From series 2 & 3.

[@patriottothecore6215]

Ardal O’Hanlon’s ability to put on an expression that makes him look like there’s absolutely nothing going on between the ears is priceless.

[@helpmaboabb]

It was said that when first shown on Irish TV, it was only during the 3rd series that the rural population finally realised it wasn't a "fly-on-the-wall" documentary... The previously unthinkable secularisation of Ireland in the last 30 years has been well explored by now, and I wonder how much this one TV show had to do with it.
