Father Ted

This episode draws on some of the running jokes from Season 2, such as Ted's rivalry with Father Dick Byrne, Ted's inadvertent harassing of Father Larry Duff via mobile phone. And it contains one of the funniest Father Jack storylines in the series: Father Jack, forced to give up booze for Lent, actually sobers up! Watch closely, because this may be the only time you'll ever see Jack remember the words for curtains, floor, and Ted (you'll have to watch the episode to find out).



Sister Assumpta is very funny, especially as she tries to cure Father Ted and Father Dougal of their backsliding ways. Her punishments are silly and (as with everything on Father Ted) fun to watch. The end credit sequence, in which Sister Assumpta is unleashed on Dick Byrne, gives Craggy Island's resident bad-guy a very deserved comeuppance.



Overall, an excellent episode with a satisfying resolution.
