"No Luck Then Ted?" - Dougal

9.1

"Superb"

By JasonQuigley, Dec 07, 2006 Report Abuse

Another classic 'Father Ted' episode where you'll laugh so hard you'll cry and then you'll cry so hard you'll pee your pants.
Ted and Dougal have to come up with a plan to repair the roof of the parochial house. Dougal thinks the plan is to rob a bank, but Ted was thinking more along the lines of a raffle, so a raffle it is, but when Ted accidently destroys the prize, which is a brand new car, the lads have to come up with another plan, so they borrow a car identical to the one that they destroyed from Fr. Finnegan, the dancing priest, and fix the raffle so that Dougal will be the winner.
Of course nothing goes as planned and some hilarious antics follow.
This episodes also has one of the best one liners ever written in it. When Dougal is told that Fr. Finnegan has died of a heart attack, Dougal says; "Oh Right, Is there anymore Chipsticks?"moreless
