Kudos can also be paid to legendary comedian Michael Redmond, who puts in a brilliantly understated performance as Father Paul Stone.

Although the show is incredibly well-acted and directed, the crux of Father Ted's genius lay in Linehan and Matthews' writing - a heady mix of surrealism and the everyday, along with a hefty dose of film and TV parodies.

Eminently quotable, endlessly watchable, indubitably (and somewhat eerily) still as relevant today as it was in the 1990.

Father Ted has always felt second-hand, uninspired and predictable to me

The first series has some time-honoured sitcom staples, such as the ever-present catchphrases and...a slight over-reliance on characters jumping out of windows to button a scene, but it's all funny.

The episode ["The Passion Of St Tibulus"] gets off to a rip-roaring start with the immortal "Those Protestants €“ up to no good as usual." I've never looked at Cluedo the same way again.

It's so silly, so surreal, so big on laughs, you overlook the fact it was also edgy. Irish priests shown as feckless wasters - imagine!
