Ballykissangel
When Father Peter Clifford (Stephen Tompkinson), an English Catholic priest, is transferred to the small Irish village of Ballykissangel he soon realizes the adjustment will be more difficult than he expected.

The BBC Northern Ireland drama ran for six seasons between 1996 and 2001.
