As for your signature Lee, that would be an ecumenical matter. [:D]

Yes!

For those not in the know, the entire Father Ted series is currently available on 4OD.

...And its claws are as big as cups, and for some reason it's got a tremendous fear of stamps! And Mrs Doyle was telling me it's got magnets on its tail, so if you're made out of metal it can attach itself to you! And instead of a mouth it's got four arses!

I don't think 4OD service is available outside the UK, (unless you can use a UK proxy).

Occasionally bootleg bits of "Father Ted" do appear on Youtube but are quickly removed by C4* ...

I've heard that too, but about 1 - 50. It's because it's a not-too-small, prime number. Who knows why, but people often associate prime with random.
