I heard about this show over 20 years ago when this Irish couple at my Catholic church told me about it. This was before streaming so I found some DVDs and I exploded laughing every episode especially how liberal they were with language in Ireland and especially with the taboo themes in so many of the episodes.

[@reddwarfer999]

[@jonathanbailey9075]

I've always been keen on the following exchange: Mrs Doyle (bowing fawningly): "Bishop Brennan, your car is parked outside" Bishop Brennan: "I know it is, I parked it there myself" Having been raised a Catholic it perfectly captures the fawning way in which women of a certain age would treat any member of the clergy, especially a bishop, as though they are some sort of higher being.

[@pauljordan4452]

The funny thing is a Belgian professor told me Lord is Monseigneur in French. Called thou. A bishop is also addressed as Monseigneur - called you. So a bishop is supposedly higher than God.

That is true. Been watching on KZbin some of these people react to videos. Brilliant watching again with people that have never seen them.

[@noeljr.7724]

Every scene with the Bishop is great. He was terrifying and hilarious at the same time. I guess he wasn't available for filming at the time but I've often wondered why he wasn't in the Christmas special where one of the priests he's over was recieving a prestigious award. There was a lot going on in that episode though so I don't know where he would have fit in. Just to note, this video is missing 2 scenes. One where he asks Jack why he's not at "the fillum" while looking for his bag. Jack then reveals he has the bag. Another where he is on the plane after getting a good kick up the old b-o-t-t-y.

[@I-am-sparticus]

I just laughed properly for the first time in ages. I remember watching this growing up. You just cant get comedy like this anymore 😂😂😂

[@terrortorn]

Bishop Brennan is quite misunderstood. Ted is a thief or at least dishonest, Dougal is a potentially dangerous simpleton and Jack is a drunken letch all of which Len handles with great restraint as he kept the "Vatican out of it" and has given them an lovely island and a big house to live in. Len is not blameless, fathered a child in America which loves and looks after, has intimate baths with nubiles but its all NORMAL behaviour I assure you. He has sympathy for Ted after he falls down the stairs, gives a car as a raffle prize and has a fear of rabbits.

[@jojoh9664]

It's not real..obviously it was made to make people laugh.

[@piledriverpotter9847]

What would he have done if he found out Ted sabotaged the Rover that was donated for the raffle.
