Father Ted was an extremely important part of Irishness in the late 90s and it is still adored all over the world to this day.
The comedy series aired on RTE from 1995-1998 and became an instant success throughout the country. It provided us with some of TV's funniest moments and the Craggy Island natives will always have a special place in our hearts.
According to new research conducted by Radio Times Magazine, Father Ted is the second best TV sitcom of all time - topped only by Fawlty Towers.
A panel of TV experts compiled a list of the 20 best comedy series ever made and we can't argue with the results.
Father Crilly and the gang are in great company with shows such as Blackadder, Absolutely Fabulous, The Office and Gavin and Stacey among the top sitcoms ever made.
Unsurprisingly, Fawlty Towers clinched the No. 1 spot, even though it only ran for two series.
The hit comedy originally flopped with viewers when it first aired on BBC Two in 1975, but a year later it was shown on BBC One and audiences couldn't get enough.
We can't argue with the absolute masterpieces that make up the top ten:
- Fawlty Towers
- Father Ted
- I Am Alan Partridge
- Blackadder
- Dad's Army
- Only Fools and Horses
- Porridge
- The Royle Family
- Absolutely Fabulous
- Dinnerladies
