Father Ted: Series 2, Episode 3 - Tentacles Of Doom - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)
When a nearby relic has its importance upgraded by the church, a group of bishops pay visit to the island.
Further details
Three bishops are on their way to Craggy Island to upgrade the Holy Stone of Clonrickert to a Class II relic, and Ted is determined that Dougal and Jack be on their best behaviour.
Luckily, Father Jack's improved vocabulary and new catchphrase ('That would be an ecumenical matter') impress the Bishops enormously. Inspired by Jack's positive attitude, they put him at the centre of their new campaign fighting back against the anti-clerical bias of the media.
This proves to be a grave error of judgement...
