    Does it get any better than this?

    You get comedy dynamite, this is a comedy volcanic eruption.

    Ia this one of the funniest episodes of anything ever made? I think it is, we have the wonderful intro, given to us by the previous episode's cliffhanger. We have the constant jokes throughout, and then we get that golden moment, and the subsequent laughs afterwards, including Bishop Brennan's bewilderment.

    They go up one with this episode, we are even given The Pope here.

    Father Jessop is a very funny, irritating character, not the only one to suffer the wrath of Father Jack, it's brilliant.

    Fabulous, 10/10.

    • Quotes

      Bishop Brennan: What brings me here? Well I suppose the company. Or the fresh air? Or the view from my window of the big pile of sludge? But top of the list would be the matter of you kicking me up the arse!
