Mostly! It's not actually all that survives though. And there's still no sign of a release for the film adaptation.
Started back on my DVD box set, from my DVD rotation, and in this episode............
"And Ecumenicals to You, as Well"
Not the best of the series (most are excellent) but there was a face I thought I just about recognised playing the Catholic Priest Father Ignatius.
I thought is that Bishop Brennan from the excellent Father Ted's "Kicking Bishop Brennan up the Arse"?? And it was - a very young looking, slim, thin faced, as I say, just about recognisable Jim Norton.
So he got promotion!

One review of the film on the IMDb, which slags the whole concept off for mainly racial stereotypes.

Anyway, just to say I've finished the limited box set and to be honest I found it most enjoyable, but I've always been a fan of Jewish humour, of which this has a lot, and am a big fan of John Bluthal.
Also, Bishop Brennan from Father Ted made one last appearance.
It seems the DVD is now out of print, it doesn't appear to be on the Network website which is annoying.

I think someone on eBay knows this too, if you've got £30........................
Would sell you mine, but will probably watch it all again when I've finished all the other box sets.

I'm just surprised as Network have some pretty niche sitcoms, I wonder what made this one go out of print so quickly.
Do DVDs get printed?

I think there's a good chance it's been deleted ahead of a reissue with more episodes in, as it was never a complete set.
