The 1st ever episode (Baptism of Fire) of the TV sitcom Bless Me, Father from 1978. Father Neil, a young curate, arrives at the Parish of St Jude where he meets his new mentor Father Duddleswell, a canny Irish priest who is quite unlike anything he ever imagined...

Starring Arthur Lowe, Daniel Albineri, Gabrielle Daye and Patrick McAlinney, this gentle sitcom was broadcast on September 24th 1978 and ran for 3 series until 1981. It was the first role Arthur Lowe took after Dad's Army finished, and it was apparently one of his favourite roles.
