Bless Me, Father is a British sitcom starring Arthur Lowe, Daniel Abineri, Gabrielle Daye, Patrick McAlinney, David Ryall, and Sheila Keith. It was aired on ITV from 1978 until 1981 and described the adventures of an Irish Cosmic priest, Father Charles Duddleswell (Lowe) and his immature curate (Abineri) in the fictional parish of St. Jude'south in suburban London. Twenty-i episodes, written by Peter De Rosa (who had previously been a novice curate), were aired. De Rosa wrote the books on which the series was based using the pseudonym of Neil Boyd which was also the name of the young curate character; Boyd also served as the narrator in the series of novels upon which the series was based. It was made for the ITV network by London Weekend Tv.
The serial was set in 1950 and 1951 and marked a departure from the centre-class "banking company manager" roles associated with Lowe such as that in Dad's Army. The other regular characters included Mrs Pring (Daye), the housekeeper, the difficult-drinking Dr Daley (McAlinney), the non-religious neighbour Baton Buzzle (Ryall), and abbess Reverend Female parent Stephen (Keith).
Yes I enjoyed that very much. I enjoyed that considering it was such a modify from playing these bumbling old Englishmen, but... I would have liked to do more than of that just for some reason or other we didn't and I don't know quite why. For one thing I know immature Abineri, the boy who played my curate, he went to Commonwealth of australia, more or less on a permanent basis. He married a girl out at that place and we've lost him to the clergy merely... I don't think that was a sufficient reason in itself, I hateful at that place must've been some other politics behind it, considering one tin can e'er get some other curate [for the series]... however Lionel Jeffries has done something similar as recently so...
—Arthur Lowe on the serial, interviewed on Pebble Manufactory at One on 14 Apr 1982, the twenty-four hours before his decease.
