Series 2, Episode 1 - Hell

The time has come for the trio's annual summer holiday, and Father Ted has a fellow priest's caravan in mind as a perfect location.

Further details

Ted, Dougal and Jack head off on their summer holidays to Father O'Rourke's caravan in Kilkenny. Unfortunately, a run-in with some naked occupants of the caravan park gets the holymen's holiday off to a sticky start.

The situation deteriorates further when they discover Father Noel Furlong and his St Luke's Youth Group have moved into their caravan and are in the middle of a rendition of Ebony and Ivory.

Just how many cover versions of Waterboys songs can they take before they give up the ghost and head for home...
