Father Dougal McGuire from Father Ted
Father Dougal McGuire (played by Ardal O’Hanlon) is a faithless priest banished to Craggy Island alongside Father Ted Crilly and Father Jack Hackett in the comedy series Father Ted. Father McGuire is the youngest of the three priests and often comes across as dim-witted. To create your costume, you’ll need a priest shirt including a white collar, and dark dress pants with belt. Choose a sweater vest in your preferred color and grab a black zip up jacket similar to the one Father McGuire wears on the show to complete your look.
Mrs. Doyle from Father Ted
Mrs. Doyle (portrayed by Pauline McLynn) is the dowdy housekeeper from the comedy series Father Ted. She works for the titular Father Ted Crilly, Father Jack Hackett, and Father Dougal McGuire. Mrs. Doyle has messy hair and wears modest clothing. To create your costume, you’ll need dark pantyhose, oxford shoes, and a brown midi-length skirt. Pair this with a floral blouse that includes a tie feature at the collar. Mrs. Doyle also wears smocks over her clothes as part of her houskeeping attire, so choose one in a neutral color and complete your costume with a cozy oversized cardigan.
Father Jack Hackett from Father Ted
Father Jack Hackett (played by Frank Kelly) is one of the trio of bad priests banished to Craggy Island in the British television series Father Ted. Father Jack is an alcoholic and tends to be very rude, often more antagonistic than his fellow priests Father Ted Crilly and Father Dougal McGuire. As is sometimes the case, the accessories are really what will make your Father Jack costume work. Start with a black shirt and tab collar, and a black suit to match. Then, you’ll want a balding wig that you can style to be as wildly disheveled as possible. Use a makeup sponge and a cream makeup stick to add red blotches to your face, and then complete your outfit with a cane and a fake cigarette.
Father Ted Crilly from Father Ted
Father Ted Crilly (played by comedian Dermot Morgan) is the titular character of the comedy series Father Ted. One of three priests exiled to Craggy Island, Father Ted finds himself living alongside Father Dougal McGuire and Father Jack Hackett as well as their housekeeper, Mrs. Doyle. Father Ted has grey hair and dark eyebrows. His usual outfit consists of a black suit and his priest’s collar, though he also favors a cozy grey cardigan upon occasion.
