About this programme:
Father Dougal is excited about his new rabbit, Sampras. Meanwhile, Bishop Brennan is due to arrive to investigate a case of suspected nude sleepwalking by Father Jack. An incident in a lift in New York has left the bishop with an intense rabbit phobia, so Sampras must be kept well hidden.
About this series:
Second series of the comedy about three rather strange priests living on Craggy Island. Father Dougal McGuire is one of life's innocents. Father Jack Hackett is one of life's reprobates (who'll drink anything from Tia Maria to Toilet Duck) and Father Ted Crilly is just trying to stay sane and dreams of a parish in Las Vegas and a life (or even an hour) free of embarrassment.

Episodes
Ep. 1:
| Hell- The venerable priests take themselves off to their annual holiday in the Kilkelly Caravan Park. Unfortunately, the place's attractions (The Magic Road and St Kevin's Stump) are marred by a suspcious couple living nearby, an over-excitable youth group and more rain than the average monsoon. | ||
Ep. 2:
| Think Fast, Father Ted- It's quite simple - to fix a leaky roof, Father Ted gets a car to raffle. But then there's a bit of a problem with the bodywork and he, Dougal and Jack borrow another one from the Dancing Priest. But how are they going to get it back after it's been won? | ||
Ep. 3:
| Tentacles of Doom- Father Ted receives word that the Holy Stone of Clonrichert, Craggy Island's most religious knick-knack, is to be upgraded to a class II relic. Three bishops arrive on the island to perform the solemn ceremony and Father Ted is determined that Father Dougal and Father Jack be on their best behaviour. However, a crisis in faith, a faulty toilet and an overbearing bishop result in death, destruction and horror. | ||
Ep. 4:
| The Old Grey Whistle Theft- The arrival or rebellious young priest Father Damien Lennon (Joe Rooney) coincides with the theft of the whistle owned by Mr Benson, the picnic area supervisor. As law and order breaks down on Craggy Island, the local police force, drawing on the sort of resources Morse and Frost would envy, reaches on conclusions - a priest done it. | ||
Ep. 5:
| Song for Europe- Dougal is so enthusiastic about the Eurosong, that Ted decides he and Dougal will 'borrow' a turn from and old Eurosong hopeful and enter it as their own. Unfortunately, fate is waiting to throw a few bum notes into the deal. | ||
Ep. 6:
| The Plague- Father Dougal is excited about his new rabbit, Sampras. Meanwhile, Bishop Brennan is due to arrive to investigate a case of suspected nude sleepwalking by Father Jack. An incident in a lift in New York has left the bishop with an intense rabbit phobia, so Sampras must be kept well hidden. | ||
Ep. 7:
| Rock-a-Hula Ted- When a militant feminist singer arrives on the island, Ted is preparing to judge the annual Lovely Girls Competition. The question arises as to how his old world charm and the modern women's movement will greet each other. | ||
Ep. 8:
| Cigarettes and Alcohol and Rollerblading- It's Lent and the priests all agree to sacrifice a little luxury. For Father Ted it's ciggies, Father Jack gives up the booze (well, Ted hides it) and Dougal agrees to hang up his rollerblades. But can they resist temptation? | ||
Ep. 9:
| New Jack City- Father Jack has been packed off to St Clabbert's Old Priest's Home to be treated for his incredibly hairy hands. But when his replacement turns out to be even more trouble than the great TV Terminator himself, Ted and Dougal mount a Guns of Navarone style rescue. | ||
Ep. 10:
| Flight into Terror- Flying back from a visit to a holy shrine, our priestly trio find themselves in mortal danger when Father Fay, the Monkey Priest of Killybashangel, goes mad in the cockpit and causes Father Dougal to do something really, really stupid. With the plane down to a cupful of fuel, Father Ted has seconds to come up with a top-notch plan on how to decide who gets the last two parachutes. |
