Clearly an ecumenical matter

One of my favourite shows and the scripts read well. Personal intros to each episode by the writers, which should interest fans, and you can see just how brilliant some of the lines are. Perfect light reading.

Excellent

It is improtant to mention these are not transcripts, these are written drafts by the very talented writers. Excellent for any aspiring script writer to see how the written word transfers to the screen.
it is an excellent read for any fan of father ted.

Brilliant tv programme

These scripts are very funny, whilst the inclusion of draft scripts rather than the broadcast version does provide an insight into the developments of the script into the show. The only 'extra' are director's commentaries about the start of each episode, although these are far from amazing. Other tv comedy books (eg. Blackadder, Vicar of Dibley) have funny extras which this collection would have benefited from. The show is amazingly funny but the scripts don't have the same magic. The character of Mrs Doyle, so brilliant in the show, is not particularly funny in the scripts. The complete scripts just demonstrates the genius of the actors involved in the show. Worth buying-buy the videos first though-but a better effort could have been acheived.

Sorry Ted. I was concentrating too hard on looking holy.

This is a paperback re-print of last year's "Complete Scripts," and is every bit as brilliant. Every ted fan should have this book on their shelves, if only for the commentary on each episode by writers Arther Matthews and Grahan Lineham. Very overlooked, yet very brilliant. it is worth noting that these scripts arent the final versions that went out to air, but an earlier draft showing more hilarious moments that were never meant to be seen on air. A classic book to complement a classic series.
