"The Mainland" is an episode of the Channel 4 sitcom Father Ted. It was first broadcast on 3 April 1998 as the fourth episode of the third series.
On a visit to the mainland, Ted and Dougal get lost in a cave while trying to escape enraged television personality Richard Wilson (who reacts with extreme violence to Ted mentioning his catchphrase 'I don't believe it!'). Along the way the hapless duo encounter Father Noel Furlong and his St. Luke's Youth Group who have been trapped for two days. His screeching triggers a cave-in and his youth group, under the pretense of going to get help, flee to Paraguay. Meanwhile Mrs. Doyle and her friend Mrs. Dineen spend an afternoon in a teashop only to end up arguing and starting a fight over who should pay the bill whilst Jack accidentally joins an alcoholics anonymous group after an appointment with an optician following the mysterious disappearance of his spectacles (mainly due to the fact a crow keeps flying off with them).
