    Ahh Brilliant!! I'm so happy to see her talking about Father Ted now, as I know she has refused to talk about it for a long time. I could always understand that, as she is an actress and wants to play others roles and has probably been tortured by people of the years. Though it is so great to see her embrace this now, and that people just want Pauline to know how much they enjoyed the show, and that it would have been no good without her. She seems so at ease now and comfortable, kind of how I would imagine her to be. I think she has aged really well too.

      It is amazing how she doesn't look any older after all these years, probably because they gave her make-up to make her look older. But the actor who plays Dougle now looks older than Mrs Doyle.

    It’s nice to see Father Ted streaming free on youtube, tubi, prime etc. I think a day doesn’t go by that I have Father Ted on the TV at least passively for the last 5 years (and have been watching it RELIGIOUSLY for the last 20). It’s my litmus test for whether I find someone intelligent or having a sense of humor. Ironically most Americans (which is where I am located) don’t quite love it

    There are some exceptionally talented actors that have have had varied careers, but will still always be associated with one stand out role (Hyacinth Bucket, Victor Meldrew, Dorien Green…, even Joanna Lumley will always be associated with Patsy more than any of her other roles), and Pauline is one of them. I can understand why they would want to sever the connection but it’s a shame as, from the fans, they would get such loyalty if they embraced that specific character more.
