Ireland launches Father Ted stamps

[Still Waters 50,894]

A quarter of a century after it first aired, Ireland's most beloved comedy has been immortalised on a set of stamps.

Iconic one-liners from Father Ted are featured on each of the four stamps, including the infamous "That money was just resting in my account", and "That's mad, Ted."

Retro wallpaper in the background of each stamp matches the different rooms in the show's Parochial House on the fictional Craggy Island in the west of Ireland.

A survey found 88% of Irish people use 'Ted-isms' in direct conversation, while 20% quote the series on a daily basis

Excellent. One of the last true comedy greats. (along with The IT Crowd.....Moss is my role model)
