Rock A Hula Ted

Aggressive protest singer Niamh Connolly arrives on the island to get her head together and check out a possible future home. Meanwhile, Father Ted is looking forward to judging the annual Lovely Girls Competition. Will this clash of militant feminism and old-fashioned, wholesome womanhood lead to more trouble for Ted? Yes

With Easter fast approaching, Father Dick Byrne suggests that he and Ted call a truce and get on with the important business of giving up something for Lent. Ted gives up cigarettes, Jack gives up drink, and Dougal gives up rollerblading. When they fall at the first hurdle, they ask for assistance from a strict order of militant nuns. Help arrives in the form of Sister Assumpta and their idea of self-sacrifice is soon radically re-defined as a strict ten-step road to spirituality is rigorously enforced.

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 Priests home for immediate treatment. However, Jack’s replacement seems to be even more trouble than the great man himself, so Ted and Dougal decide to mount a Guns of Navarone style operation to rescue him.
