Having seen the show on BBC America, I generally took after getting the newly released videos. Ballykissangel is an entertaining Irish comedy filled with eccentric characters and plots that makes it sort of an Irish NORTHERN EXPOSURE. The cast of characters include Father Peter Clifford, an english priest just recently arrived; Assumpta Fitzgerald, the no-nonsense barkeeper who becomes attracted to the new curate; The shrewd businessman Brian Quigley; his fiery daughter Niamh and her fiancee, by-the-book Gardi Ambrose Egan. The videos released are from the premiere season, which I believe was the best because of its tounge-in-cheek humor and positive tone (In the future, BallyK, while still keeping its brand of humor, generally turned more dramatic and darker in the later seasons, as key characters either left or got killed off). Of the three videos, volume two- where Ambrose nearly becomes a priest, and Father Clifford taking driving lessons- is probably my favorite, cleverly funny and entertaining. Like the rest of the videos, this features a behind-the-scenes look on the show: a definitive must for BallyK fans.
