Father Charlie, 1982
Lionel Jeffries takes to the cloth in this six part ITV sitcom screened in 1982.
Episodes went out on Sunday nights.
Perhaps the series was doomed to failure from the outset when ITV accidentally transmitting the second episode first. Viewers were left confused when the first episode, which set up the events in episode two, was then shown the following week.
Summary
Father Charlie is a troublesome Priest who is sent from his Parish to a Convent to be kept watch over.
