St. Paddy's Day from Craggy Island

With the realization that many across the globe have been celebrating St. Patrick's Day since Saturday, what better way to cap off the festivities than a trip to Craggy Island to spend some quality time with Father Ted Crilly, Father Dougal McGuire, Mrs. Doyle and Father Jack Hackett and his daily simple pleasures routine of sleeping, eating and drinking.

Your next box set: Father Ted

Silly, surreal and very funny, it was also edgy - Irish priests as feckless wasters!

If you're hungry for humour as midnight approaches, Channel 4 has made the lazy but crowd-pleasing decision to welcome the new year with a quartet of Father Teds. First at 11.40pm, the absurd priests enter a Eurovision-style contest with their song My Lovely Horse; next, they holiday in a caravan park. And if you're crashing through the front door at around 12.45am, you'll be met by one of the funniest Teds ever: he offends Craggy Island's Chinese community.

Graham Linehan Night, More4

Graham Linehan's comedies are wonderfully surreal and self-evidently funny, but it's the warm-heartedness at the heart of Father Ted, Black Books and The IT Crowd that makes them endlessly rewatchable. Of course, it's a quality that makes them a sound choice at this time of recumbent vegetation, and so here More4 does the decent thing and not only screens Black Books - the demented Dylan Moran/Bill Bailey-starring series about despotic bookshop proprietor Bernard Black - but also follows it up with episodes from Linehan's other offerings. More enjoyable madness follows tomorrow.
