Original Air Date: 21 April 1995 The first ever episode of Father Ted sees the arrival of Funland, the world's most cataclysmic travelling funfair, to Craggy Island. Funland is set up in The Field (it isn't really a field but it has less rocks in it than most places), however Ted has unknowingly arranged to meet a film crew there for an interview for 'Faith of Our Fathers'. In the confusion of the funfair, Dougal meets the film crew who mistake him for Ted, and he clutches his chance to tell the world his innermost thoughts on life, religion and the spider baby.

Father Ted - Entertaining Father Stone (Season 1, Episode 2)
Father Stone is a very boring priest and when he goes to stay at Craggy Island, Father Ted Crilly tries to do his best to get rid of him, but nothing works. Finally, Father Ted seems to get his wish, although not in the way he wanted and he's full of remorse. Some funny moments here, especially when Father Stone's parents come to visit, although in the whole this episode appears to be a little flat.

Original Air Date: 29 March 1996 (Season 2, Episode 4) A beach lifeguard's old grey whistle has been stolen and it makes the headlines of the local papers (shows how much goes on there) and Father Dougal is accused of taking it, so Ted tries to defend him. A really silly episode really, which goes on for a bit regarding an old cheap whistle and why it was so special. Dougal is eventually cleared of the theft as it is quite clear that he is not capable of doing such a thing (as if we never knew already) Again some of the parts, like the constant "reminders" of the whistle can be quite annoying, but the show was quite good on the whole.
