Series 1, Episode 5 - The Bishop Turns To Crime

When the Dean mistakenly entrusts the Bishop to look after his man-eating plant, he little realises the chaos that it causes. If the Bishop had not arranged for a removal of junk from his home, then the key to the Deanery would not be lost and the Archdeacon would not have had to enlist a reformed burglar in order to retrieve it!
