An Post stamps celebrate 25 years of Father Ted

An Post, the Irish postal service, has released a set of four fun stamp designs marking 25 years of legendary sit-com, Father Ted.

The stamps feature iconic one-liners now linked to each of the four main characters:

“That’s mad, Ted” (Fr. Dougal), “That would be an ecumenical matter” (Fr. Jack), “Will you have a cup of tea Father?” (Mrs. Doyle) and the now infamous “That money was just resting in my account” (Fr. Ted).

Retro wallpaper in the background of each stamp matches the different rooms in the Craggy Island Parochial House.

The specially designed stamp booklet (€5.70) by Dublin’s Detail Design Studio contains five stamps celebrating the characters, their famed catchphrases and the world created by Father Ted.

They are available online at www.anpost.com/shop and in selected post offices nationwide
