It aired over three series from 21 April until 1 May , including a Christmas special, for a total of 25 episodes. Dishonourably exiled on the island by Bishop Leonard Brennan Jim Norton for various reasons, the priests live together in the parochial house with their housekeeper Mrs Doyle Pauline McLynn. The show subverts parodies of low-brow humour as it portrays nuanced themes of loneliness , agnosticism , existentialism and purgatory experienced by its title character; this deeper meaning of the show has been much acclaimed. The show follows the misadventures of three Irish Roman Catholic priests who live in a parish on the fictional Craggy Island , located off the west coast of Ireland. The three priests answer to Bishop Len Brennan , who has banished them to Craggy Island as punishment for different incidents in their past: Ted for alleged financial impropriety apparently involving some money "resting" in his account and a child being deprived of a visit to Lourdes so that Ted could go to Las Vegas , Dougal for an event only referred to as the "Blackrock Incident" resulting in "many nuns' lives [being] irreparably damaged" , and Jack for his alcoholism and womanising , particularly for an unspecified incident at a wedding in Athlone. The show revolves around the priests' lives on Craggy Island, sometimes dealing with matters of the church but more often dealing with Father Ted's schemes to either resolve a situation with the parish or other Craggy Island residents, or to win games of one-upmanship against his enemy, Father Dick Byrne of the nearby Rugged Island parish. Graham spent a lot of time listening to the Pixies and watching Taxi Driver. When I knew him first, it was like he'd never been outside the house, except to go to see Star Wars films, so his influences were never that Irish, whereas I grew up in the country He did a show called The Glen Abbey Show , which was very funny. So I was always aware of the strangeness and madness of Irish things. Linehan and Mathews first met while working at Hot Press. The trio began writing comedy sketches to accompany their act. Mathews created the Father Ted character for his short-lived stand-up routine. Over the next three to four years, they worked on rough ideas for shows while at the same time writing for sketch shows such as The All New Alexei Sayle Show and The Fast Show. One of these ideas was for a comedy mockumentary series called Irish Lives , with six episodes, each focusing on a different character living somewhere in Ireland.
