Episode 4
Vera tells the newspaper all the clergy latest, but there's disappointment. It's 1954 in the Irish town. Stars TP McKenna. From 1995.
After 'overhearing' that Reverend Hawthorne is leaving Ballylenon for a larger congregation, telephone operator Vera McConkey loses no time in communicating the good news to the local newspaper, The Vindicator.
Series set in the sleepy town of Ballylenon, Co Donegal, in 1954, before the days of mass tourism and proper plumbing in every home.
Written by Christopher Fitz-Simon.
