MediaGuardian.co.uk | Father Ted crosses the Pond
The Yanks are planning a US version of Father Ted. Full marks for bravery ‘cos if there’s one thing that doesn’t transport over the water, it’s whimsy and lunacy. Unless you’re Dubya.
But I can’t help thinking it’s going to sully otherwise fantastic memories of a hilarious programme. Just leave it alone and broadcast the original version!
