This review is from: Bless Me Father, Vol. 1-3, Box Set [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Set in a London suburb, an Irish Roman Catholic priest gains a thoroghly Engilsh, fresh faced curate he's not sure he wants. This series tells the tales of the life in the parish of St Jude's (the patron of hopless cases) of Fr Duddleswell, the pp, Fr Neil, the curate and Mrs Pring the housekeeper. A series of antics reveals a parish priest who is a cunning and wylie, but with a thourougly pastoral heart. Anyone accociated with the Catholic Church will love it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny and warm!, February 10, 1999

Bless Me Father shows a lighter side to the religious situations two priests face in their small community. If you like British comedy, this one will keep you laughing.

This review is from: Bless Me Father, Vol. 1-3, Box Set [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When living in B.C., Canada, I discovered the joys of British TV comedy, and this was one of my favorites.

Fr. Duddleswell is such a perfect character, well playing up to his straight curate, Fr. Boyd. In between is the housemaid, Mrs. Pring and a cast of characters to boot.

Episodes to see from this set include a hilarious episode of Fr. D battling neighboring Billy Buzzle over noise. It's a stitch, including a cameo appearance by "Pontius" Billy's black lab who is seated with the Bishop. The Doomsday Chair as well as the Baptism with Fire episodes testify to the good natured fun which the British are now famous for. We in the states should take our cue for what is really good in humor from this sophisticated great laughter producing stuff which doesn't have to resort to the gutter nor violent to keep one's attention.
