Hello Wishin': I loved "The Most Fertile Man in Ireland" a charming comic farce, It portrayed the Troubles in a comic light plus...contemporary Irish front parlours and bedrooms. I loved the uphostery fabrics and wallpapers!!Also<BR>"My Left Foot"<BR>"The Secret of Roan Inish"

"An Everlasting Piece" is a wonderful comedy with a very serious message filmed in Northern Ireland.

Dear wishin-<BR>I empathize with you-<BR>BBC America will be showing Father Ted reruns starting May 31. You can also buy the Father Ted videos or DVD's on Amazon. I recommend the DVD's b/c there are more episodes including my favorites- "Cigarettes, Alcohol and Rollerblading" and "Kicking Bishop Brennan up the Arse." Ballykissangel videos are also available on bbcamerica.com website I believe.<BR>Enjoy!<BR>Katie

One that hasn't been mentioned yet is Widow's Peak with Mia Farrow and Joan Ploughwright. Very entertaining.

Am I crazy, or did Shamrock really take the time to tell us all that "The War of the Buttons" is actually "War of the Buttons"? I'm speechless.<BR><BR>But I'll overcome it. Katie, my favorite Ted episodes is the "All-Priest Over-75 Five-a-Side Football Tournament" and the one where a bunch of priests get trapped in "Ireland's Largest Lingerie Section" and want Ted to help lead them out.<BR><BR>Two more to add: "Titanic Town". And the following is more of a series, and unfortunately the lead actors have a severe problem with the Northern Ireland accent, but it's still funny. "Eureka Street"

The Nephew with Pierce Brosnan was pretty good. I believe it was filmed in Galway. <BR><BR>
