Based loosely on the film franchise of the same name, 'Speed 3' is Ted par excellence, and an action thriller.

This [season premiere] was an episode with some of the most cringeworthy yet dazzling humour, and deserves its high placing on this list.

Perhaps the biggest reason why Father Ted worked so well was mixing the ridiculous with the sublime.
