Is Are You Being Served the comedy that takes place in a British dept store? And is Father Ted the series that features Hugh Laurie(from Dr. House fame)

Yep that's Are You Being Served.
Father Ted was filmed in Ireland with an Irish cast. It's about 3 misfit Catholic priests on Craggy Island.
It's not anti-Catholic, despite the premise, but it is very quirky. I don't how to describe it, but here's a link from Internet Movie Database if you ever want to check it out.

Thanks to you also for the info...I think a lot of things on the BBC are hard to describe, and are also quirky...they are very different from American made programs...and a nice change, at that...

I love Father Ted, but have only been able to see it sporadically. BBC America doesn't seem to have any regular schedule for it, and my local PBS will show an odd episode every now and then. I guess I'll have to break down and buy the DVDs.
