Editing Father Ted (section)

==Synopsis==
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]]. [[Father Ted Crilly]], [[Father Dougal McGuire]] and [[Father Jack Hackett]] live chaotically together in Craggy Island's [[Clergy_house|parochial house]], along with their [[Housekeeper (domestic worker)|housekeeper]] [[Mrs Doyle]], who always wants to serve them tea.

The three priests answer to Bishop [[List of Father Ted characters#Bishop Brennan|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 [[Lothario|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.
