It's the 'All Priests Stars In Their Eyes Lookalike Competition', and showbusiness personality Henry Sellers, a former alcoholic, has landed on the island to host the festivities. Father Ted is determined not to go as Mother Teresa again, but he isn't the only one to think of Elvis. It takes some quick thinking to beat Father Byrne's team from nearby Rugged Island.moreless

"Competition Time" is a really funny episode. It see's the "All Priest Look a like competition" come around again. And a famous TV show host comes to host it. Sadly things mess up when the presenter has some sherry to drink. This is a brilliant episode with a hilarious ending, where we see the look a like competition. The Three fathers do the three stages of Elvis, and laughs all round. The best part of the episode is where the Fathers have to catch the TV show host; it is like a mini action film where they have to shoot him with a tranquilizer. Just Brilliant.moreless
