This video essay analyzes Channel 4's Father Ted. Father Ted is Ireland's favourite sitcom and most necessary, as after years of living under its reign, Ireland got to turn the Catholic Church into its own little joke. Father Ted was written by ARTHUR MATHEWS* and Graham Linehan and starred Dermot Morgan, Ardal O'Hanlon, Frank Kelly and Pauline McLynn.
