Since they were banished to a remote island off the coast of Ireland because of mysterious clerical misdeeds, Father Ted Crilly, Father Dougal McGuire, Father Jack Hackett and their housekeeper Mrs Doyle have been entertaining countless Channel 4 viewers. While Ted dreams of a more high-class parish, Dougal attempts to grasp complex theological issues between games of Cluedo, Jack shouts 'Drink! Feck! Arse! Girls!' with little or no provocation and Mrs Doyle does her best to give Irish friendliness and hospitality a bad name. "Father Ted: The Complete Scripts" is, uniquely, a collection of late, but not final drafts - jokes, characters and scenes that didn't make it into the series are here, along with an introduction to each episode by the authors, which explains how the insane plot lines arose. So whether you're a fan of the show, or simply interested in how a comedy program makes the final leap from page to screen, this book is all you'll need.

Seen the TV series? Now read the book!,

This review is from: Father Ted: The Complete Scripts (Paperback)
If you loved the wacky Irish TV series of three odd-ball priests banished to a God-forsaken island, then you will love the book of the scripts, too.
The scripts themselves are not exactly what went to air. They were the final rewrite, but there were often small (or large) changes when it was actually filmed. There are lots of scenes not televised, lots of the authors' footnotes, funny insights and comments. You will pick up on bits that you missed watching the show. A great read!
