Father Dowling Mysteries (1989–1991)

Does Anyone with more than one brain cell watch this rubbish?

[1/10 · 12 May 2020]

I was forced to endure an episode of this puerile drivel recently, as punishment for offending my wife's "friend" (someone she works with but secretly cannot stand but they are higher up in the food chain than she is - it's complicated) Anyway, I was made to watch this rubbish ( my wife hates it too) and I have to say that this is the most inane dross I have ever viewed! A chubby, "folksy" catholic priest (all catholic priests are austere, authoritarian horrors, to be avoided at all costs) teams up with a spunky Nun to solve crimes. That alone is enough to make me run for the toilet. Who on earth thinks up these ludicrous scripts? The Nun disguises herself as many different things (the wife says) including a prostitute? And they have managed to make 3 series of this rubbish! I don't have to watch it, I know (unless the wife punishes me again) but I do have to endure the same maddening adverts for this junk! This program should be banned, the producers locked up for ever and the priest should be sent to a leper colony somewhere very remote. The Nun can play a prostitute though, anytime she likes. Very nice legs...! She is the reason that I gave it one star, otherwise it would have got none!
