Voted Channel 4's greatest comedy show by viewers.
The four-time BAFTA award-winning Father Ted tells the hilarious tale of three Irish priests and their housekeeper. Life is hard for Ted (Dermot Morgan). Exiled to the remote Craggy Island (for reasons which never quite become clear but may have something to do with missing Church funds), he is forced to share a house with three of the most difficult people in Ireland...
First there's Father Jack (Frank Kelly), who has not been sober since 1936 and has a vocabulary which extends to three words--only two of them printable. Then there's Father Dougal (Ardal O'Hanlan): young, innocent and almost inconceivably stupid. And finally, Mrs Doyle (Pauline McLynn) the overly-attentive housekeeper who has one sole purpose in life--to supply the priests with cups of tea, usually against their will. Will the four of them ever be able to live in faithful harmony?
This 5-disc complete boxset has been designed by renowned cartoonist and illustrator Tony Millionaire and includes collectible art cards of his drawings. Contains all episodes from all three series plus loads of extras, including:
• Commentary by Graham Linehan & Arthur Mathews for series 1 & 2 (recorded 2012)
• Cast & writers commentaries on all episodes
• Small, Far Away - The World of Father Ted
• Father Ted wins Channel 4's 30 Greatest Comedy Show
• Interview with writers
• Tedfest 2007: A Very Ted Weekend
• Comedy Connections
• Comic Relief with Ted and Dougal
• Tedfest 2007: Two tribes go to war

My vote would be for New Jack City, if only for the sight of Father Stack dancing to jungle music

70s Fawlty Towers
80s The Young Ones
90s Father Ted
00's The Office
Nothing in the 10's.
Fact.
And I think for sheer moreness and daftness Father Ted is the greatest of all times.

I think it would have to be my personal greatest comedy show of all time. I've had the complete box-set for years and watched them all countless times, but I'll still watch them in preference to almost anything else whenever they're on TV.
