Someone is having a laugh.

It's the BBC.

There was no religion in Father Ted, despite the basic premise.

Are you sure? Although I suspect that would be an ecumenical matter.

That was brilliant. 'What I did during ramadan - ate nothing' was quite well delivered. The rest is a bit flat especially when they try turning it into some sort of farce with ceiling falling down and the farmyard animal bit in this episode.

Surprised people on here don't like it. Is a funny programme IMO and tells a few home truths too :-)

I find it quite funny too.

It suits Friday nights!

It's gently amusing in a 70's sitcom sort of way, bit like Miranda is a one-sided female Morecombe and Wise.

I wouldn't buy the box set though.

Rubbish. Reads like a Pakistani comedy for white people.

IIRC, didn't this receive loads of complaints (from Pakistanis/Muslims) in the first series, especially when the daughter was pretending to read the quran?

Bbc comedy is box ticking. Unattractive munter comedy = Miranda, Muslim / Pakistani = citizen khan etc they have areas to cover to hit the bbc self imposed equality rule sadly not many funny comedies from Pakistan
Personally If they have to make a Muslim stereotype comedy do a remake of open all hours - more accessible to the audience..

My wife and I quite like it. We didn't think we would at first, as the adverts for it always make it look daft, but it's easy to watch with some quite clever comedy.

The bingo scene was brilliant.

I thought the first series was very funny but the one I watched on Friday was pants!

Still can't help thinking if it was 'old style brits' making the jokes it would be classed as racist and derogatory.

I watched this more by accident and surprised it had me laughing, having seen the previews and thinking what a load of ste.

Edit to add slight continuity error, theres no caravan sites in Bournemouth, not holiday ones anyway...

It gets worse - what a pile of ste.

[ArsE92]

Yeah. It wasn't so good tonight.

Apart from Belinda, of course.

[condor]
