Ted insists that he will have a better chance at winning since the guest judge, TV presenter Henry Sellers, is staying at the Craggy Island parochial house.
At the contest, Dick and his fellow priests (Cyril McDuff and Jim Johnson) perform as Diana Ross and two of the Supremes, scoring 9 out of 10.
Ted tells Dougal they will look for Henry again in the morning and spends the rest of the evening appreciating the tiny trophy they received for winning.
The character of Henry Sellers was based on a well-known English TV personality who enjoyed drink; writers Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews heard from a friend in Hat Trick Productions that they had seen the presenter come home drunk one day and fall into a bush.
