Bodkin, the new Netflix series, has just dropped a major bombshell with a surprise appearance from the beloved Mrs Doyle from Father Ted. In this thrilling true crime podcast, Gilbert, Emmy, and Dove are on a mission to uncover the dark secrets of the small Irish town of Bodkin. As they dive deeper into the cold case of mysterious disappearances, they stumble upon more and more clues that reveal the truth behind the unsolved mysteries.
In their quest for answers, the trio, along with local resident Seamus, come across several potential suspects who may hold the key to the truth. But it is in episode five, titled “Peace In Our Time,” that they encounter a seemingly innocent souvenir shop owner named Bronagh McArdle. Played by the talented Pauline McLynn, known for her iconic role as Mrs Doyle in Father Ted, Bronagh quickly becomes a person of interest.
At first, Gilbert is skeptical of Bronagh’s involvement in anything sinister. However, Seamus sets him straight, revealing that she was married to a “psychopath” named Joe McArdle, who himself feared Bronagh. It becomes clear that she is not someone to be taken lightly.
Fans of Father Ted will undoubtedly recognize McLynn’s incredible talent as she brings Bronagh to life in Bodkin. Her portrayal of the tea-obsessed parish housekeeper in the 90s sitcom has become iconic, and now she showcases her versatility in this gripping new series.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been in the spotlight since stepping back from their senior royal duties in 2020. In a trailer for their Netflix series, Prince Harry emphasized that the public doesn’t see what goes on behind closed doors, while Meghan questioned whether it makes more sense to hear their story directly from them. Reports have suggested that the couple could earn up to $100 million for the show, although the actual figure remains unknown.
Bodkin, a comedic thriller, was created by Jez Scharf, who previously worked on shorts. Scharf explained that his inspiration comes from the absurdity of life and the idea that sad things can often be funny, and vice versa. The show is available to watch on Netflix.
