Main Characters/Cast:

Father Ted Crilly - Dermot Morgan
Ted is the central chactor in the show. He's been banished to the island by Bishop Brennan over financial irregularities although Ted always upholds that "The money was just resting in my account". What we do know is that his former parish was Witlow. Age wise, Ted is slap in the middle between the younger Dougal and the older Jack.
   
Father Dougal McGuire - Ardal O'Hanlon
Dougal is the thick one. He loves Byker Grove and Buckaroo. In his own words, if he had a cup, he'd be very happy.
   
Father Jack Hackett - Frank Kelly
If anything's toxic and in liquid form, he'll drink it. Jack is a bit of an alcoholic, although it's very subtly presented in the program, almost hidden*. He's also very dangerous in a violent way if disturbed by anyone at any time.
   
Mrs. Doyle - Pauline McLynn
Mrs. Doyle is the more mysterious character. We never find out her first name (in the series, but it is revealed in the scripts book), and her marital status is always kept a mystery, although we know that at one stage in her life, she had or has a husband. She also loves making gallons of tea and cake, also sandwiches for everyone who doesn't want them.
