"Superb"

By danideathstrike, May 30, 2006

"Grant unto him eternal rest" sees Father Jack consume more floor polish than is good for him, he dies leaving Ted and Dougal half a million pounds. This episode see's a Nun visits the island to see The Holy Stone of Clonrichert- the islands only attraction. Father Jacks funeral is attained by many misfit Priests including the hilarious Father Faye. The fathers are disappointed when Father Jack comes back from the grave. Even tough this is a comedy we see some great character development- we see how greedy Ted is, Find out information about Father Jacks past and meet lots of new and funny priests. Great. This is also the last episode in season one, and a great way to end it.

- Jaws Ted uses this film when he plays charades, then he tells Dougal it was this and Dougal talks about how it's very different to Jaws 2 which he'd guessed earlier.
