Curses.

Okay, I’d like the said flyer, because I found the blasted thing in the attic a few years ago.

You must remember? You were wearing your blue jumper.

Jeff, at the time when it was being made and first broadcast I thought it was over-rated - so much of the humour seemed to be impacted by the changes in attitudes that Ireland itself was going through. But now years later, with Ireland having made those changes, I find it stands up quite well all by itself.

And oops - I need to pick a winner of the Ardal document. Will get to it.

Maybe it’s just me - but I never did get Father Ted - just didn’t do it for me

Karen - as it stands you have a 50/50 chance at it. I might drag it out a bit longer though and try and persuade the email suitors to leave comments.

Hey! I love Father Ted, we were just in the West of Ireland in May and there was a “Craggy Island B&B”, but when we went out to it, it was not on an island! Which island was the festival on?

Anyway, we love Father Ted and Ardal O’Hanlon and would like that election flyer if we have a chance at it?

Update: I’ll close this before too long, and obviously if there is just one person asking for it in the comments then they get it. Email requests are not being counted.

The festival was brilliant, Eolaí. You would have loved every minute of it. They had hide a nun and seek and weddings followed by tea and sandwiches.

Anyway, put my name in the hat, because … I’m an awful eegit.
