The irreverent BritCom that has been called "undoubtedly the finest comedy about three Catholic priests stuck on a tiny island off the Irish coast ever made" is now available on video.

Editor's Note
This set compiles six side-splitting episodes from the legendary first season of FATHER TED, featuring the comedic exploits of three Irish priests and their hellion housekeeper, all exiled to the Parochial House on Craggy Island for their incompetence in the line of duty. Includes: "Good Luck, Father Ted" -- Ted gets a chance to escape Craggy Island when he's asked to appear on "Faith of Our Father," a prestigious Eirean television program. However, his aspirations are frustrated by the cantankerous Father Jack, the loopy Father Dougal and the arrival of Funland, the world's worst carnival. "Entertaining Father Stone" -- a visit from the insufferably dull Father Stone finds Ted praying for relief, only to be horrified when his prayers are answered with a bolt of lightning. "The Passion of St. Tibulus" -- Ted and the gang find themselves at the center of controversy when the Pope orders them to protest a blasphemous movie which happens to be showing on Craggy Island. "Competition Time" -- Ted comes up with a seemingly surefire plan to defeat the rival priests from Rugged Island in the annual "All Priests Stars in Their Eyes Look-a-Like" competition. "And God Created Women" finds all the residents of Craggy Island a buzz when the sultry novelist Polly Clarke comes for a visit and shows interest in Ted. Will a whirlwind romance be in Ted's future, or is Polly after something else? "Grant Unto Him Eternal Rest" -- Father Jack drinks a little too much floor polish and departs this mortal coil. In his will he leaves Ted and Dougal one half million pounds, provided they assure he isn't buried alive by spending a night with him in his crypt.
