Ballykissangel On DVD
From the Vale of Avoca - County Wicklow
With viewing figures of around 14 million, Ballykissangel is one of BBC
TV's success stories of recent years. Superbly written, wonderfully acted and beautifully filmed, the programmes easy charm, gentle pace and
quirky humor have enchanted its loyal audience on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond.
The show's other star is of course its setting - the stunning Vale of Avoca in County
Wicklow.
When Father Peter Clifford (Stephen Tompkinson) comes from Manchester to the
small Irish village of Ballykissangel, he knows he will be facing some opposition. After all, what is an English priest doing in
Ireland.
He soon finds out that the town of Ballykissangel poses many more challenges
than just accepting the unfamiliar priest.
The delightfully mischievous cast of characters include Brian Quigley, the
local businessman and entrepreneur, Donal and Liam, his faithful sidekicks and the tough owner of Fitzgerald's Bar, Assumpta. As the characters
become more familiar throughout the series, their tribulations and triumphs are all the more realistic.
