Father Ted: Series 2, Episode 5 - A Song For Europe - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)
Ted and Dougal plan to enter Eurosong 1996, borrowing the music from a 1970s entry's long-forgotten B-side.
Further details
Inspired by Dougal's enthusiasm, and driven on by his rivalry with Father Dick Byrne, Ted decides to enter the 1996 Eurosong Contest. To this end, he and Dougal 'borrow' a turn from an old Eurosong hopeful and enter it as their own.
With inspired lyrics, a jaunty tune and the right attitude, both Ted and Dougal think their offering stands a good chance.
However, as so often before, they are proved utterly wrong...
