Have mercy on poor Father Ted Crilly. He has so much to contend with when it comes to dealing with the folks of Craggy Island, Ireland. There's Father Dougal McGuire, who is as dimwitted as they come; and then there is Father Jack Hackett who lives for the simple pleasures of life (sleeping, drinking, and swearing). Ted tries to bring stability to his congregation as well as the surreal townspeople of Craggy Island.

Are You Right There Father Ted?

24 mins

When Mrs Doyle injures herself, Ted and Dougal do the housework and a bored Ted puts a lampshade on his head--an act misinterpreted as racism by a passing Chinese family. Ted gets them on side by buying them alcohol, but another mishap leads to the islanders believing him to be a Nazi. To dispel this notion, he holds a festival to celebrate all cultures. This is successful; unfortunately, a friend of his has recently died and bequeathed all his Nazi memorabilia to him, and Mrs Doyle has proudly put it on show.
