Father Ted - No. 5

"AND GOD CREATED WOMAN"

[ Available on VCI video: "Father Ted - Series 1 - Part 2"; Catalogue No. VC6559 ]

[ The temptations of the flesh have Ted walking with a limp when sophisticated novelist Polly Clarke comes to stay, but any notions of romance are scuppered by a group of visiting nuns, a seven second mass and a robbery at the post office. ]

Gospel according to FATHER DOUGAL MCGUIRE

My mother!? She's hardly what you'd call a-, a woman, Ted. She's not like one of the women you see on the telly like, er, like the Gladiators. She wouldn't be one of them, Ted.

Gospel according to FATHER JACK HACKETT

FATHER JACK:

Nuns! Nuns! Reverse! Reverse! Reverse! Reverse!
