    Ahh Brilliant!! I'm so happy to see her talking about Father Ted now, as I know she has refused to talk about it for a long time. I could always understand that, as she is an actress and wants to play others roles and has probably been tortured by people of the years. Though it is so great to see her embrace this now, and that people just want Pauline to know how much they enjoyed the show, and that it would have been no good without her. She seems so at ease now and comfortable, kind of how I would imagine her to be. I think she has aged really well too.

    She was born in 1962. Father Ted was broadcast in 1995. Even if it was recorded a year earlier she would still have been in her 30s not her 20s when she played Mrs Doyle.

    • @chriszone50

      It is amazing how she doesn't look any older after all these years, probably because they gave her make-up to make her look older. But the actor who plays Dougle now looks older than Mrs Doyle.

    There are some exceptionally talented actors that have have had varied careers, but will still always be associated with one stand out role (Hyacinth Bucket, Victor Meldrew, Dorien Green…, even Joanna Lumley will always be associated with Patsy more than any of her other roles), and Pauline is one of them. I can understand why they would want to sever the connection but it’s a shame as, from the fans, they would get such loyalty if they embraced that specific character more.

    It must be strange to be part of something so huge, at least with a cult following as Father Ted, because I remember she didn’t want to be in the documentary because she was tired of the Association. I guess she’s come to terms with it and I think that happens a lot. Like with Leonard Nimoy’s spock
