Ecumenical Matters - The Father Ted Podcast

It's the last episode of Series 1 of ...Ted so we were buzzing! Unfortunately, so was the audio (sorry about that). Jack has briefly exited this mortal coil, which means Ted and Dougal have to attend to his wake. Mrs Doyle is tickled pink by all these women with their jobs and the mourners lament Jack's missed potential. He could have been Pope.Dougal points out the very real distinction between Jaws 2 and Jaws, we harken back at the legendary Italian football players of the 90s (thus explaining his bedwear), Father Fay climbs up the walls in grief and we discuss what we would do if we inherited Jack's wealth.Subscribe now to get a new episode every Sunday morning - just in time for Mass!
