Episode 26 - TOP FIVE FATHER TED EPISODES

The TOP FIVE EPISODES, as voted for by YOU, the listeners of Ecumenical Matters. Lindsay Mitchell and Glenn Hamill take us through the Contenders we picked throughout the run of the podcast and have been voted on over two months by the public.

Episode 21 - Escape from Victory

Another Road Show! This time to Mexico. Well south of the (Ireland/UK) border in Letterkenny. Ted is embroiled in a high stakes bet with his hated rival Dick Byrne in the Annual All-Priests 5-a-Side Over 75 Indoor Football Challenge Match.

Episode 20 - The Mainland

I don't believe it! Twenty episodes, so celebrate with actor Glenn Hamill and Vince! The Islanders take a day trip to the Mainland, despite Mrs Doyle's misgivings.

Episode 14 - Cigarettes and Alcohol and Rollerblading

Lifelong Ted fan Eamonn Turbett joins in the giving things up competition, or sorry, the sacrifice to Our Lord (Arnold, who's Arnold?). After Father Dick Byrne lays down the challenge, Ted volunteers himself, Dougal and Jack to give up their vices, while Mrs Doyle has a good miserable time on St Patrick's Hill.

Episode 13 - Rock a Hula Ted

Actress Lindsey Mitchell and prodigal son Vince (they all have lovely bottoms) are on the judging panel for The Lovely Girls. Ted's has the honour of picking the winner, who will have the honour of paying for dinner for him. Dougal has to house sit but fiery feminist rock star Niamh Connolly is in the property market. Jack takes up charity fraud, while Mrs Doyle shows her competency with power tools. 


Episode 12 - The Plague

DJ and musician Graham Harrison has to cure The Plague befalling Craggy Island, as the whole place is coming down with rabbits and Ted and Dougal desperately search for a ways to get rid of them - on the eve of Bishop Brennan's impromptu visit! Mrs Doyle puts her mechanic skills to use on Len's car, while Jack confuses his rodents. 


Episode 8 - Think Fast, Father Ted

Improv artist and actor Marcus Keeley conducts the inquest into the most crooked raffle in Craggy Island history. Music is in the air, with Father Finnegan the dancing Priest (RIP) and the Spinmaster Father Billy O'Dwyer on the decks. Father Austin Purcell's droning drives Jack to the drink - so we baptise a new feature Jack's Drinking Cabinet, Mrs Doyle sticks to her principles when it comes to raffles, Dougal spatial awareness is still a concern when exiting doors and Belfast gets an official mention!


Episode 7 - Hell

Colin Hassard joins us again to discuss Graham Norton's bow on the show as the relentless Father Noel Furlong. Father LARRY DUFF! He's tremendous fun, I'll give him a call. And Dougal's spatial awareness causes concern ("These cows are very small...")


Episode 6 - Grant Unto Him Eternal Rest

It's the last episode of Series 1 of ...Ted so we were buzzing! Unfortunately, so was the audio (sorry about that). 

Jack has briefly exited this mortal coil, which means Ted and Dougal have to attend to his wake. Mrs Doyle is tickled pink by all these women with their jobs and the mourners lament Jack's missed potential. He could have been Pope.

Episode 5 - And God Created Women

Actors Glenn Hamill and Christian Jackson discuss Ted's desires as he tries to woo superstar author Polly Clark. Mrs Doyle turns the air blue, and Dougal is even more confused by all the women around. Nuns! Nuns! Reverse Reverse!
