Father Ted - Complete Box Set
starring Dermot Morgan, Ardal
O'Hanlon, and Pauline McGlynn |
I was a instant fan of
this when it was first screened. It's just magical. Such as show with
wonderful writing and priceless jokes. As a massive fan I got the box set
and so so pleased with if it I watched all the episodes then all the commentaries and
that's when I realised the true value of the box set. Commentaries are a hidden treasure of
DVDs and one that many simple pass
off as being boring. But the Father Ted commentaries are so fun. The writer
is also a great fan of commentaries and so gives a brilliant collection of
anecdotes that usually have very very little to do with the series but are
equally entertaining.
The 70s had Fawlty Towers, the 80s
Blackadder and' head and shoulders above any other sitcom of the 90s, is
the sublime, ridiculous, surreal, hilarious genius of Father Ted. Right
from the off (Dougal's excitement at seeing the 'Spiderbaby' in the
opening episode of series 1, 'Good Luck, Father Ted') it was a classic in
every respect - writing, performance, pacing... Peaking at series 2 with
'Song for Europe's hilarious bleeped out swearing tirade from Ted and the
resultant ditty 'My Lovely Horse', and my personal favourite episode 'The
Plague', the writers managed another brilliant series before calling it a
day, as they had decided before the tragic passing of the great Dermot
Morgan (an early guest on 'Have I Got News for You', apparently). This
series lives forever in his honour...
