While I would hesitate to call Father Ted “British”, it was made by Channel 4.
Always at it those Brits
It was a Channel 4 production
British in the headlines, but Irish in the article… An accurate metaphor no?
This comes up a lot. It’s a British – made TV show set in Ireland.
I don’t think it’s necessarily a stretch to call it British.
It was written, directed and produced by Irish people, starring Irish actors and portraying quintessentially Irish plots, characters, motifs, etc. The British thankfully gave it a platform and I’m happy to call it a joint British-Irish programme but it can’t be described as just British.
There’s a peep show one where Superhans steals a wheel of cheese from Riverrun.
Yeah made by a British channel but with irish writers and cast and a lot of it shot in Ireland. Your phone is most likely made in China but it doesn’t make it a Chinese phone.
Sure we can call ripper Street, and penny dreadful Irish shows then
There would be no Father Ted without the British no one in Ireland wanted to make it at the time
IMDb defines the country of a title as the place or places where the production companies for that title are based, and therefore where the financing originated. This means, for example, even if a title is shot on location in France, if its production companies are all based in the USA, we record the country as USA
Edit: the show was made by Hat Trick productions who are based in London
No link to the clip? Just fucking moaning?
HEYY MAAAA! The Brits are at it again…..
A counter to all the ‘producer’ arguments here: An Irish artist who uses an American producer to produce and publish their music wouldn’t have their music considered American
to be fair it was mostly made in london by an english company
Well RTE told Graham Linehan to pretty much f*ck off in a nice way so now Channel 4 and the brits own one of Irelands greatest comedy shows, so blame RTE.
Derry Girls is Channel 4 again, how about the RTE stick their gritty drama’s up there arse’s and stop loosing our own writers to the UK.
Either way do I think the RTE could give any of these writers the same support Channel 4 did ? most likely not. RTE is a Waste of public money.
You guys are aware that all the interior sets were in the UK?
The only Irish parts were the exterior shots of the house and the occasional outdoor event.
The vast majority of filming and production was done in the UK by Channel 4
Who gives a fuck it’s hilarious 🤣
Is Vikings an Irish show?
Everyone is saying it’s British because it was funded/produced by a British company but no one calls the foreign productions made by Netflix American.
If it’s nearly all Irish talent that made it, it’s creator is Irish and is based on the culture I would say it’s Irish.
This is a British production. Same as braveheart is a Hollywood movie.
As much as the title pains me, there’s actually nothing wrong with it
Technically British since it’s s British production company and that’s whst determines “nationality”.
Obviously Irish writers, cast, setting, themes etc. so I’d consider it Irish all the same.
Calling it British is uncomfortable but technically correct. Calling it both British and Irish in the same article, those are fighting words
“When you are lying drunk at the airport you’re Irish. When you win an Oscar you’re British.” Brenda Fricker.
To put it in simpler terms: if you, an Irish writer, writes a story for an British magazine your story now belongs to an British magazine.
For the record this was just me trolling while I was waiting for the bus 😅
I’ll let this one go because it was a Channel 4 production and it does describe it as an Irish sitcom
I heard you are a brit now father!
Good for you father!
Fuming.

Made by channel 4, filmed in London. RTE would never have made that in the 90s
It’s literally British-Irish. Made by a British production company for a British channel, with Irish writers and actors, filmed in both Britain and Ireland.
