Episode 01
The Bishop Gets the Sack
BBC journalist Timothy Post arrives at St Oggs to film a documentary, and someone is required to go in front of the camera. The Bishop is keen to stop the Dean from taking on the role, and fancies doing it himself.

Episode 02
The Bishop Meets a Bird
The Bishop has been sought to contribute an article on the Cathedral for a local paper, and he sets to with enthusiasm. His discovery of an old tradition called 'Pedlar's Right', and its subsequent publication, lead him into an embarrassing situation.

Episode 03
The Bishop Writes a Sermon
With an impending visit to his alma mater to deliver a sermon for Founder's Day, the Bishop determines not to forget it – as he did the previous year. But in the end, he misplaces both his new sermon and the one Noote lends him as a replacement — is he ever to impress his old headmaster?

Episode 04
The Bishop Sees a Ghost
There have been several sightings of a ghost in the Cathedral and attention turns to the Bishop, who is called upon to perform an exorcism. The Bishop, however, decides to hunt out the ghost by performing an all-night vigil in the cloisters.

Episode 05
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 wouldn't be lost and the Archdeacon wouldn't have had to enlist a reformed burglar in order to retrieve it!

Episode 06
Only Three Can Play
The Bishop's normal Thursday night game with Noote and the Archdeacon is thrown into chaos when the Dean arrives. Only three people are allowed to play but the Dean wants in and he sends Noote on an errand. Noote has to persuade a young lady not to park in the close but, instead, he becomes enchanted with her and it looks as though the Dean has a regular place at the game after all...
