I doubt Father Ted could even get made these days in the UK with all the political correctness carp around. I wouldn't be surprised if the PC morons don't ban some episodes in case Catholics are offended.
I'm pretty sure it wouldn't get made. Only for Channel 4 taking it on, I doubt it would have ever seen the light of day at all. RTE rejected it but they're one of the most old fashioned televisions stations to exist, ever.
