Father Ted: Series 2, Episode 9 - New Jack City - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)
When Father Jack is hospitalised, Ted's hopeful that the drunken old letch won't return, and he'll be down to having to deal with just one dependent - but when Bishop Brennan sends Father Stack too be a new 3rd Priest on the island, Jack suddenly seems far more tolerable...
Further details
Father Jack's incredibly hairy hands seem to indicate that he is suffering from a common complaint that afflicts old priests. He is hurriedly sent off to the St. Clabbert's Old Priest's Home for immediate treatment.
However, Jack's replacement - Father Stack - is even more of a nightmare than the great man himself. Faced with this troublesome priest, Ted and Dougal decide to mount an ill-conceived rescue operation to get Jack back.
Desperate times call for desperate measures...
