Father Ted is a sitcom created by Irish writers Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews and produced by British production company Hat Trick Productions for Channel 4. It aired over three series from 21 April 1995 until 1 May 1998, including a Christmas special, for a total of 25 episodes. It aired on RTÉ Two in Ireland, on Nine Network and ABC Television in Australia, and on TV3 in New Zealand. Set on the fictional Craggy Island, a remote location off Ireland's west coast, Father Ted stars Dermot Morgan as Father Ted Crilly, alongside fellow priests Father Dougal McGuire and Father Jack Hackett. Dishonourably exiled on the island by Bishop Leonard Brennan for various reasons, the priests live together in the parochial house with their housekeeper Mrs Doyle. The show subverts parodies of low-brow humour as it portrays nuanced themes of loneliness, agnosticism, existentialism and purgatory experienced by its title character; this deeper meaning of the show has been much acclaimed.
