''Bless Me Father'' is a British situation comedy starring Arthur Lowe, Daniel Abineri, Gabrielle Daye, Patrick McAlinney, David Ryall, and Sheila Keith. It was aired on ITV from 1978 until 1981 and described the adventures of an Irish Catholic priest, Father Charles Duddleswell (Lowe) and his young curate (Abineri) in the fictional parish of St. Jude's in suburban London. 21 episodes, written by Peter De Rosa (who had previously been a novice curate), were aired. De Rosa wrote the books on which the series was based using the pseudonym of Neil Boyd which was also the name of the young curate character; Boyd also served as the narrator in the series of novels upon which the series was based. It was made for the ITV network by London Weekend Television. The series was set in 1950 and 1951 and marked a departure from the middle class 'bank manager' roles associated with Lowe such as that in Dad's Army. The other regular characters included Mrs Pring (Daye), the housekeeper, the hard-drinking Dr Daley (McAlinney), the non-religious neighbour Billy Buzzle (Ryall), and abbess Reverend Mother Stephen (Keith). The series' creator Peter De Rosa (born 1932) is also a significant figure in the history of 20th Century Catholic theology in Britain. A lecturer at the controversial Corpus Christi College in London who lost his job when the college - known for its radical presentation of the Catholic Faith - was abruptly closed by Cardinal Heenan. It was this, together with his disillusion with the way in which the decrees of the Second Vatican Council were being implemented, that caused de Rosa to leave the active priesthood. His books on religious subjects include "Jesus who Became Christ", "Come Holy Spirit" and "Vicars of Christ - the Dark Side of the Papacy". ==Cast== * Arthur Lowe as Father Charles Clement Duddleswell * Daniel Abineri as Father Neil Boyd * Gabrielle Daye as Mrs. Pring * Patrick McAlinney as Dr. Daley * David Ryall as Billy Buzzle * Sheila Keith as Mother Stephen Guest appearances on the series include Derek Francis, Phoebe Nicholls, Daniel Gerroll, Peter Bowles, Clive Swift, Rynagh O'Grady, Michael Troughton, Geoffrey Palmer and Peter Copley. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bless Me Father」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
