Synopsis

On a visit to the mainland, Mrs. Doyle and Jack get arrested while Ted and Dougal get lost in a cave while trying to escape enraged television personality Richard Wilson and in doing so encounter Father Noel Furlong and his St. Luke's Youth Group.

Casting

Richard Wilson makes a special guest appearance as himself, with Ted and Dougal recognising him as "yer man from ''One Foot in the Grave''". In the episode, every time Ted says, "I don't believe it", Wilson becomes angry. This is a real-life reference to the fact that Wilson really does hate people going up to him and saying his catchphrase from ''One Foot in the Grave''.
Graham Norton returns for his third and final appearance as Father Noel Furlong. He sings the Queen songs "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Fat Bottomed Girls".
