Season 1 • Episode 7
LatestOh, Father! is a British sitcom produced by Graeme Muir for BBC One. A follow-up to the 1968–70 series Oh, Brother!, Derek Nimmo reprises his role as Brother Dominic, who finds himself promoted to Father, but that's as far as his luck goes. He's just as clumsy and accident-prone as ever.
Acting
Nimmo's physical comedy genius—every pratfall lands.
Writing
Classic Muir wordplay, monastery setting ripe for irony.
Creator
Graeme Muir
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Seventies BBC religious sitcoms walked a tightrope—mocking clergy without offending the Church of England establishment. This Catholic setting gave slightly more leeway.
Derek Nimmo became so synonymous with clerical roles that he was later cast in 'All Gas and Gaiters'—essentially typecast as Britain's favorite bumbling man of God.
