| Last updated 2:00 AM, April 20 2021 GMT+1 Channel 4 has always been a patron of amazing Irish comedy. It is, after all, the home of Father Ted, one of the most iconic television shows Ireland has ever produced and still an inspiration to Irish writers, comics and performers over 25 years after it first aired. It should come as no surprise then that the channel is once again championing an exciting Irish comedy export in the form of Frank of Ireland, a new sitcom centred around a layabout thirty-something year old named Frank and his intellectually challenged best friend, appropriately named Doofus. The pair are played by brothers Domhnall and Brian Gleeson, two of Ireland's most celebrated actors, each a bona fide star in his own right who between them have been a part of some of the biggest TV and film productions of the last decade From Brian's breakthrough in the RTÉ classic
