Ballykissangel
Running Time: 60 minutes (approx)Drama series about a young English priest who is transferred to a small Irish parish, Ballykissangel. His arrival provokes much curiosity among the locals. Several surprises await him, including his ultraconservative boss Fir MacAnally, the fiery barmaid Assumpta, and plans for a hi-tech confessional in his church, St Joseph's. Ballykissangel is a tiny village. The crew and cast of Ballykissangel seem to take up most of it whether at the church or on the street. Main CastStill looking for more?

Believe it or not, it’s 2008 and Ballykissangel is only now being shown on BBC Prime in Serbia! I know only few people watching it, because there are no Serbian subtitles. People here have seen Stephen Tompkinson in Wild at Heart, which is a shame, because I like him most as Peter Clifford.
I fell in love with BallyK the moment I saw the first episode. For the past few weeks I have been preparing myself for The Reckoning, searching the Internet and watching video clips. But nothing could have prepared me for such a heartbreak.
Have the creators ever explained why they have decided to finish season 3 in such a way?
Since I was a teenager, I haven’t been drawn to a series and to its characters this strongly. It is “exhilarating and depressing at the same time” (in Peter’s words). The story is written with such wit and intelligence. It has awoken the emotions I thought I was too old and too serious to be able to feel. (For God’s sake, I’m a 34-year-old teacher)
I was very happy when I came across http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/9171/BallyK.html . It was extremely comforting to read all the alternative endings to The Reckoning episode, and to see that I am not alone feeling this way.
I am also completely awestruck by Stephen Tompkinson’s ability, charm and wit. It has been far too long since I liked an actor so much. I have always been a fan of English films and English humour, but unfortunately I have had little chance to enjoy them. I will do my best to change that.
My best regards to all the fans.

I would like to know if there are any pictures of Stephen Thomkinson when he was in Ballykissangel. I have always admired his talent and charm as well as his wit. I would also like to know if there is a fan club for him.
