Father Ted - Series 2 - Part 2 Details

Father Ted - Series 2 - Part 2

Sure to please devout fans, this FATHER TED collection features five episodes from the second season. The series follows the continuing comedic exploits of three Irish priests and their fiesty housekeeper, who are all exiled to the Parochial House on Craggy Island for general incompetence.

Episodes comprise:

The Plague: Rabbit-phobic Bishop Brennan pays a visit to investigate reports of Father Jack sleepwalking naked. Unfortunately Dougal has overrun the house with rabbits, and a Terry & June-style farce ensues as Ted and Dougal attempt to keep Father Jack in bed, and the ever-multiplying rabbits away from the bishop.

Rock-A-Hula Ted (aka Lovely Girls): Ted is asked to compere the 'Lovely Girls' competition while Dougal is left in charge of the house. Father Jack is mistaken for Bob Geldof and Dougal manages to give the house away to a feminist rock star called Niamh Connolly.

Cigarettes And Alcohol And Rollerblading: Ted and co. enter a giving-things-up-for-Lent contest and soon discover that abstinence is easier preached than done. Father Jack sobers up for the first time in years, but Dougal and Ted find their resolve wavering.

New Jack City: After discovering Father Jack is suffering (yet again!) from 'hairy hand syndrome', Ted is delighted to send Jack, by 'doctor's orders', to St. Clabberts Old Folks Home (otherwise known as 'Jurassic Park'). Unfortunately, Jack's replacement happens to be one of the nastiest priests ever - Father Fintan Stack. Along with his disregard for the church, Stack has a rather irritating habit of playing jungle music loudly at 3 o'clock in the morning...

Flight Into Terror: Ted and co. end up being crammed in a plane along with every other priest who has appeared in their lives after a visit to the Shrine of Kinlettle. In a fit of the usual stupidity, Dougal manages to empty the fuel tanks on the plane. To make matters worse, there are only two parachutes to go around many more priests, so Ted devises a way for the priests to compete for the chance to live.
