    "Entertaining Father Stone" see's Father Stone (The most awkward Priest around) comes to Craggy Island for the Seventh time. And its 7 times to many for Ted, Dougal, Jack and Mrs Doyle. Ted and company try to get rid of Father Stone by any means possible, but when Father Stone is hit by lightning Father Ted prays for him to come back to good health. This is a good episode, but not one of my favourites. Many of the laughs come from Ted and Dougal discussing how to get rid of Father Stone. There not much else I can say about this episode- but it is ok. 7 out of 10

    • Dougal: Ted, if you had three wishes, what would they be? Ted: Three wishes? God, I don't know, really. Well, I suppose the first one would be world peace, and then maybe...an end to hunger. And, er... (cut to a vision of Ted dancing with glamorous women in a nightclub) Ted: ...more money for hospitals, and that type of thing.

    • Dougal: Fr Stone's been in there a long time hasn't he? Do you think he's dead? Ted: Probably doing tests. Dougal: What sort of tests? General knowledge?

    • Ted: God I hate hospitals. Dougal: Do you ever notice it's usually sick people who end up in hospitals?

    • (In the hospital waiting area.) Dougal: Who would have thought being hit by lightening would land you in hospital? Ted: What? What are you talking about? Of course it can land you in hospital. Dougal: Well it's not usually serious is it Ted? I mean, I was hit by lightening a few times and I never had to go to hospital Ted: Yes Dougal, but you're different from most people. All that happened to you was that balloons kept sticking to you.

    • Ted: Old women are closer to God than we'll ever be. They get to that age and they don't need the operator anymore. They've got the direct line.

    • Dougal: How did you meet him in the first place? Ted: He was introduced to me by Father Jim Dougan, we were at a conference. Dougan came up and said "This is Father Stone" and ran out of the building.

    • Dougal: Did you ever see that film, Ted, where your man has his head transplanted onto a fly, and the fly's head was transplanted onto the man? Ted: Oh, yes... what was it called...? Dougal: Out Of Africa, I think. Anyway, your man has the head of the fly and he's chasing his wife all over the place and she's hiding the jam and everything so he won't get stuck in it... Ted: I'll have to stop you there, Dougal. Dougal: Yes, Ted? Ted: No reason. I just have to stop you.
