Details

Voted Channel 4's greatest comedy by viewers and winner of four BAFTAs, Father Ted follows the gloriously chaotic lives of three Irish priests and their long-suffering housekeeper on remote Craggy Island.

Life is rarely simple for Father Ted Crilly (Dermot Morgan). Exiled to Craggy Island for reasons that are never entirely explained though missing Church funds may have played a part Ted finds himself sharing a parochial house with an unforgettable trio. There's Father Jack (Frank Kelly), permanently dishevelled, rarely sober and capable of communicating in only a handful of words; Father Dougal (Ardal O'Hanlon), sweet-natured, hopelessly naive and spectacularly dim; and Mrs Doyle (Pauline McLynn), the endlessly attentive housekeeper whose answer to almost everything is another cup of tea.

Created by Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews, Father Ted became one of Britain's most celebrated television comedies, combining surreal humour, outrageous characters and brilliantly observed satire.

Across three series and a memorable Christmas special, the programme established an enduring legacy, with its endlessly quotable dialogue and unforgettable comic situations continuing to delight audiences decades after its original broadcast.

For the first time on Blu-ray, and newly restored, Father Ted arrives 7th December 2026 from Mediumrare as a complete collection.
