Series 2, Episode 10 - Flight Into Terror
Ted, Dougal and Jack stare death in the eyes when the plane they're flying in loses almost all of its fuel. Who could be to blame? What will they do? And what will be the trio's fate?
Further details
Flying back from a visit to a particularly holy shrine, our priestly trio find themselves in mortal danger when a visit to the cockpit results in Dougal doing something really, really stupid.
With only a cupful of fuel left, Ted comes up with a plan to decide who gets the last two parachutes. Unfortunately, however, Jack steals them both - one for him and one for the drinks trolley...
As the plane starts to descend, it's time to take drastic action. Step forward, Father Ted!
