It was first aired over three series from 21 April 1995 until 1 May 1998.The show also aired on RTÉ 2 in Ireland and in Australia.Father Ted was set on the fictional Craggy Island, a remote location off Ireland’s west coast, the show starred Dermot Morgan as the eponymous Father Ted Crilly. Fr Teds fellow priests include Father Dougal McGuire (Ardal O’Hanlon) and Father Jack Hackett (Frank Kelly).The priests live together in the parochial house with their housekeeper Mrs. Doyle (Pauline McLynn). The three priests answered to Bishop Len Brennan. Bishop Brennan had banished them to Craggy Island as punishment for different incidents in their past: Ted for alleged financial impropriety apparently involving some money ‘resting’ in his account and a child being deprived of a visit to Lourdes so that Ted could go to Las Vegas. Dougal for something only referred to as the “Blackrock Incident” resulting in many nuns’ “lives irreparably damaged”, and poor Jack for his alcoholism and womanising, particularly for an incident at a wedding. The show basically revolves around the priests’ lives on Craggy Island, sometimes dealing with matters of the church but more often dealing with Father Ted’s schemes to either resolve a situation with the parish or other Craggy Island residents, or to win games of one-upmanship against his enemy, Father Dick Byrne of the nearby Rugged Island parish. The famous opening music “Songs Of love” was composed by The Divine Comedy.
