All six episodes from the first series of the cult favourite
Channel 4 sitcom which centres on a house of three Catholic priests
(Fathers Ted, Dougal and Jack), situated on a remote Irish island.
In 'Good Luck, Father Ted', Ted has a chance of appearing on
television but is thwarted by Dougal, Jack and the arrival of the
worst fair in the world. In 'Entertaining Father Stone', Ted
decides that he has had enough of Father Stone's visits to Craggy
Island, but a bolt of lightning changes his mind. Whilst in 'The
Passion of St Tibulus', Ted and Dougal demonstrate outside the
local cinema that is showing a film banned by the Pope, but the
film becomes more successful despite their protestations. The
priests do their 'Three Stages of Elvis' act in the All Priests
Look-a-Like Competition in 'Competition Time', while in 'And God
Created Woman', Ted finds his vows of celibacy tested by the
arrival on Craggy Island of a steamy authoress. Finally in 'Grant
Unto Him Eternal Rest', Jack consumes too much floor polish and
leaves Ted and Dougal half a million pounds in his will, but he may
not stay dead long enough for them to collect.
Combining the razor-sharp wit of writer Declan Lynch with
illustrations and contributions from Father Ted co-creator Arthur
Mathews. Since Declan Lynch and Arthur Mathews first shone a light
into this darkest corner of the darkest living room in all of
Ireland over a decade ago, things have actually got worse for that
almost-forgotten species we call the Poor Ould Fellas - impossible
though it seems. Further confined to their unhappy dwelling places
by the drink-driving laws, a new range of challenges have emerged
to torment them in a baffling post-analog world, where emails seek
to release them from the few remaining shillings that weren't
stolen by bankers during the crash. Now they must negotiate a
universe full of new words (falafel, bitcoin, Spotify) and concepts
(texting, sexting, going away for the weekend, composing a tweet,
growing a beard, online banking) that mean absolutely nothing to
them. Notes from a Lost Tribe is a hilarious road map through a
world of forgotten men and their equally forgotten dogs, who ask
for so little - yet it is denied them. And still ... somehow ...
inexplicably ... they go on.

During a time of momentous events - BREXIT! A GENERAL ELECTION! A
GLOBAL PANDEMIC! - the Government's chief adviser has been writing
down his thoughts - in diaries, blog posts, on Post-it notes and
any scrap of paper he can find. Discovered in an abandoned backpack
on a train, we reveal the intriguing contents. These include: * The
full story of the INFAMOUS TRIP TO DURHAM (and furious dash back to
London while driving at speed with faulty eyesight) * The SHOCKING
REVELATIONS of his 1995 Russian diary * FASCINATING secrets of
CABINET ZOOM CALLS in which government ministers SHAKE IN TERROR
when he asks them some very basic questions * What happened when he
hit MICHAEL GOVE over the head with a PENCIL * His EXPLOSIVE
REACTION to BORIS JOHNSON'S DEATH (and subsequent response when he
found out the PM was still alive) * The sheer EXHILARATION of being
DOMINIC CUMMINGS And much, much more . . .
