Belongs to SeriesBless me, Father (4)
From the series that inspired the hit London Weekend Television sitcom Bless Me, Father: A touching series of escapades from the always-rowdy parish of St. Jude's Located in West London, St. Jude's parish traditionally serves the poor Irish immigrants of the area, and the grouchy Father Duddleswell is an ideal leader for the group. Joining him is the young Father Neil, who serves as an even-keeled aide during the many times Duddleswell finds himself in hot water. This compendium of adventures is sure to delight fans of the series as St. Jude's adds another member to its clergy: Father Abe, an octogenarian with an agenda of his own. The St. Jude's staff finds themselves embroiled in a rivalry among undertakers, a visit during Holy Week from the bishop with the longest rosary on record, a harebrained scheme to promote holy water as a fertility enhancer, and a night spent under a pool table during a pilgrimage. Equal parts funny, sweet, and moving, Father Under Fire is a touching portrait of London in the early 1950s. No library descriptions found. |
