 FATHER TED | A TELEVISION HEAVEN REVIEW
Surreal, silly and very very funny, Father Ted was a sitcom that not so much thumbed its nose at some of Irish cultures most sacred cows, but rather brazenly bludgeoned them to death with a gleefully wielded sledgehammer.
Along with Ted is his young, inexperienced, child-like and likeable, but staggeringly stupid curate, Father Dougal Maguire (a perfectly judged performance of almost breath-taking empty headedness by young stand-up comedian Ardal O'Hanlon), and the alcoholically hazed, psychopathically monosyllabic retired veteran cleric, Father Jack Hackett (seasoned character actor Frank Kelly).
Although Father Ted's run was short by successful television comedy standards, its impact on viewers was both instantaneous and enduring.
