Series 2, Episode 1 - As I Was Braying

Brother Luke has returned from his sojourn in Dublin and irritatingly can't stop talking about it. Someone has asked to have his ass blessed.

Further details

The well-meaning, if eccentric, brothers like to describe themselves as the original carers in the community. Surprisingly, perhaps, they live a life which is anything but cut off from the real world. High on the agenda is that universal problem - money. But the good news is the owner of a Rolls-Royce with a gold radiator is anxious for them to bless his ass. Not so good, though, is the fact that the organ's baggy swell-box is on its last legs. And worse, there's the terrifying prospect of the brothers having to update the ladies' loos.
