Ballykissangel - Complete Series Three [DVD]

The continuing episodes of one of my favorite BBC shows

I'm watching series one,two, and three for the FOURTH time! Maybe I'll get back to series four and on, but my favorite are the first two. I love getting to know the folks of this small Irish town, with their faults and virtues and their patience with each other. I love watching Father Peter "mature" as a person, and his honest trying to grapple with the mixed pulls inside him, his ideals versus his real self as a human being. I've gone on myself trying to imagine how Peter handles the shock dealt him by ?Fate?, where does he go from here? Interesting dilemma, left to our imaginations. -Marti Matthews

A lot of fun to watch.

The first four seasons of Ballykissangel are absolutely delightful. I binge watched all the way through. The actors who brought these fascinating characters in a small Irish village to life do a wonderful job. Unfortunately, the latter seasons with the loss of main characters, turn over in the minor roles, and a too convenient death make the latter seasons while worth seeing to the end take a much darker path. It is understandable why the series was cancelled.

Ballykissangel is a wonderful BBC series depicting small town Ireland. It is the story of the new curate (Stephen Tompkinson), from Manchester of all places, who finds himself becoming totally engrossed in the life of the village. He is particularly taken with Assumpta Fitzgerald, the local publican, who has no time for the Catholic church, but feels a little differently about the curate...Beautiful settings, tremendous characters, and just the right blend of humour, and pathos. Not to be missed!

We couldn't get this sequel at our library so bought it on Amazon. This is worth having. We will watch it again. This section of the drama is really the last of the best shows. After the bartender dies, the show just isn't as good.

I'm Irish and I know that all their wars are merry and all their songs are sad, etc., etc., but this is ridiculous. This was a wonderful series until they decided to blow it up and take a completely different tack than the one that originally attracted people to it. i.e., the story of a young English priest in a small Irish village. And until the last episode of this series, they did a great job telling that story. The characters were well-defined and well acted and the humor and quirkiness definitively Irish, but the center of the whole thing was the English--accent on English-- priest and when he disappeared, as far as I was concerned, the whole series collapsed, particularly in light of the way in which the two central characters were dispatched. If Kirwan and Tomkinson wanted to leave, surely the writers could have come up with a better, less abrupt and disappointing way to allow them to do it. At any rate, it was great while it lasted but the episodes that followed this series were an awful letdown, even with the appearance of Colin Farrell and several other interesting Irish actors here and there.

I loved it- I wish Amazon had given a slight warning when they were pulling it from instant video...I was in the middle of an episode, had to break to make dinner, and POOF gone.I would reco season 1 and 2 most

I absolutely loved this series and hated to see it end. A wonderful way to spend an evening. Thank you
