Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Ballykissangel is a BBC show which aired from 1996 to 2001. Peter Clifford, an English Catholic priest, is sent from England to work in a small Irish village.


Tropes used in Ballykissangel include:

  • If I Had a Nickel: In "River Dance":

Assumpta: Thanks for last night. You were good.
Enda: If I had a pound for every time a woman said that to me...
