The TOP FIVE EPISODES, as voted for by YOU, the listeners of Ecumenical  Matters. Lindsay Mitchell and Glenn Hamill take us through the  Contenders we picked throughout the run of the podcast and have been  voted on over two months by the public.

IT'S CHRISTMAS! So naturally it's Golden Cleric time on Craggy Island!

Writers and producers Muireann McGinty and Dee Harvey dream big in the final ever episode of Father Ted!  😢

After talking Tommy Tiernan off a ledge at a priest's convention Ted is  seduced by visions of a glamourous life in America, but can he really  leave Craggy Island and it's inhabitants behind?

Kiel Cathers, lead singer of folk rock behemoths The Logues wards off  the huddled masses of Eoin McLove fans in this hilarious send up of  Daniel O’Donnell.

Mrs Doyle is besotted when she wins a competition to have her beloved TV  host Eoin McLove visit her, but she's not the only one on the island  who wants to meet him. Dougal thinks he's very cheeky, Ted doesn't  approve of his poetry tastes and Jack waxes lyrical on the nature of  fandom.

We also talk about treacherous male bonding games such as Eyeball  Chicken and Killerball, fainting Michael Jackson fans and false rumours  about Pope John Paul II.

LIVE EPISODE! We broadcast live from the Fenderesky Gallery on Belfast's North Street during Culture Night Belfast 2016 in front of an adorning audience and streamed to Facebook Live. All with the obligatory Craggy Island production values!

Another Road Show! This time to Mexico. Well south of the (Ireland/UK)  border in Letterkenny. Ted is embroiled in a high stakes bet with his  hated rival Dick Byrne in the Annual All-Priests 5-a-Side Over 75 Indoor Football Challenge Match.

Dougal's on a career break from being physio, in order to protect the  corner flags. Jack downs a full bottle of Dreamy Sleepy Nighty Snoozy  Snooze (banned in most European countries, so you know it's good), while  Mrs Doyle rounds up a firm of fellow football converts for the  terraces.

I don't believe it! Twenty episodes, so celebrate with actor Glenn  Hamill and Vince! The Islanders take a day trip to the Mainland, despite  Mrs Doyle's misgivings.

Ted and Dougal spot Victor Meldrew from One Foot in the Grave, but learn  very quickly that you should never meet your heroes. A hasty exit sends  them to a sojourn into the Very Dark Caves, where they run into Noel  Furlong. Mrs Doyle argues over a cheque and Jack's eyesight deceives  him.

Actor, writer and improv artist Michael Keane is at the Edinburgh Fringe  Festival, cowering from the menace of the Beast in this terrifying  mystery episode.

Ted's got in over his head, betting the entire heating allowance on  Chris winning the King of the Sheep 1998, but Chris artistic temperament  has been put askew by the howling of the beast. Everything is a bit  askew as Mrs Doyle finally gets to use the sheep tea, Dougal takes up  shoplifting and Jack temporarily feels the serenity of a leap year.
