Father Stone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Father Paul Stone is a fictional character from the TV show Father Ted. He appears only in the episode 'Entertaining Father Stone' which is the second episode of series one. Father Stone shows himself as a boring, quiet person whom Ted, Dougal, Jack and Mrs. Doyle despise. Everyone seems to have fear of him for his enormously boring attitude. Ted was introduced to him by a fellow priest who ran out of the room after bringing them together. Ted's personal mistake was inviting him to the parochial house for a chance to chat, but then on the next day, he moved onto the island. On a visit to the run-down and empty 'crazy golf' park, Father Stone was offered a swing but was struck by a flash of lightning after Ted had prayed for God to do something to him. Paul had always enjoyed painting pictures of him and Ted; one you can see hanging on the walls of the parochial house in later episodes. He apparently talks non-stop about his visits to his parents and brother, who is a doctor. He is fascinated by Ted and literally counts the days on his calendar to his next visit.
