Series 3, Episode 2 - The Bishop Has A Flutter
The Archdeacon offers the Bishop a chance to make some money by selling him tickets for an OAP raffle. The Bishop is going to the point-to-point horse racing and is encouraged by the Archdeacon to have a bet. But the question of gambling is given a positive spin by the Archdeacon - after all raffle tickets are technically gambling. The Bishop is now convinced that having a flutter is not real gambling and determines to "have a bit of fun without losing control".
