Night of the Nearly Dead

"Night of the Nearly Dead" is the seventh, and penultimate, episode of the third and final series of the Channel 4 sitcom Father Ted.

Mrs Doyle, as well as several other middle-aged and elderly women, are devoted fans of the boyish and dimwitted television presenter and pop superstar Eoin McLove.

As the night draws on, Ted discovers that numerous middle-aged women have congregated outside the house, all wanting to see and touch Eoin.

They become so dense as to make it impossible for Eoin or Patsy to leave, and Ted offers them to stay the night.

Patsy, knowing from Dougal that Ted wants to be on television, offers him an opportunity to guest on one of Eoin's shows.
