I love this! How many writers can make such a boast? So much love out there for Ted. And for you.

Hopefully there will be I.T. Crowd stamps too. "Gentlemen, when I first started Reynholm Industries, I had just two things in my possession: a simple dream, and six million pounds" gets more relevant by the day.

One of my friends accompanies every message he sends me with an IT Crowd gif. There is one for every eventuality!

The comments under the Sky news item that tweeted this were all very celebratory, with so many people talking up Father Ted and you and Arthur's writing. Just wanting you to know that there are more friends and foes.

I was so pleased to read about these stamps yesterday, Father Ted being one of my favouritest comedy series ever, but I couldn't help noticing that your name was not mentioned *anywhere* in the report. Talk about feckin erasure!

Utterly ridiculous erasure! From the related news reports I'd have to forgive the uninformed for concluding Pauline McLynn wrote/created Father Ted. Credit where it's due: The Guardian is the only publication I've found that has mentioned He Who Must Not Be Named: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/aug/27/thats-mad-ted-stamps-launched-for-father-teds-25th-anniversary
