Read MoreCollapse
Oh, no! It's the hilariously annoying Father Noel Furlong (Graham Norton) again. The Parochial House foursome has made a rare journey off of Craggy Island on a daytrip, and extreme trouble is right around the corner. Mrs. Doyle (Pauline McLynn) winds up getting arrested, Ted (Dermot Morgan) and Dougal (Ardal O'Hanlon) meet up with Furlong and his ever-present youth group in some "Very Dark Caves," and Dougal becomes worried that his life might be in danger from missing a meal. Will Jack (Frank Kelly) join Mrs. Doyle in the slammer? Bet on it. It's up to Ted to bail them out and get everybody home in one piece.
