If you look at the end credits Graham Linehan and Arthur Matthews, the writers of Father Ted starred in this episode.

I love Ed Winchester too, he was in Father Ted as Buzz Cagney in the Final Episode.

Yes this is true but ironically the isle of man has the world's longest, consecutivly, running parliament on earth, claims to be over one thousand years to date. It's also one of the highest gdp per cap in the world. But yeah very old school considering there law against same sex not changing until the 90s. Great place to go if you like driving fast cars though

The Isle of Man was sort of seen as quite a strange backwards place. Homosexuality was still illegal there until the 90s

Many UK sketch shows had the same format. If you were to watch a harry Enfield sketch show you'd find the same thing. Same characters each week in different situations. The comedy Eventually comes from familiarity. You see that character and begin to expect a certain thing from them. That's the point. That being said It was a bit hit and miss for me. Some stuff was just iconic and brilliant while other things were instantly forgettable. It was changed up from series to series. Oh and series 4 is technically a handful of specials they did after the shows main run.
