- TriviaDuring the wrap party that followed the taping of the final episode, Ardal O'Hanlon's father, a general practitioner, expressed concern about Dermot Morgan. He noticed that he appeared unwell, and he told him to see his doctor as soon as possible. Less than 24 hours later, Morgan suffered a massive and fatal heart attack.
- GoofsThe Blind Priest on the Plane says he's laughing at the "Mr Bean" he's listening to with his headphones. But Mr Bean is Visual Comedy. This is a joke, wholly in character for a show like "Farther Ted".
- Quotes
Father Jack Hackett: Drink! Feck! Arse! Girls!
- Crazy creditsThe sixth episode of the second season begins with the usual credits, but instead of Father Ted, the title reads: Father Ben. It then cuts to Dougal sitting in front of the TV, watching Father Ben. Ted comes in and makes fun of the character of Father Ben, saying he has no self-awareness at all. It then cuts to the normal credits.

Featured review
Father Ted still ranks as one of the best sitcoms ever made, it is three series of the most glorious, zany, scream out loud comedy ever made.
Whenever I think of Morgan's tragic death I always get so incredibly sad, it's one of those shows that needed to go on, go on, go on, go on......
What can I say that hasn't been said before? I'll try something a bit different, whenever I feel sad or down I reach for this show, and within minutes I'm back to myself, such is the power of comedy here.
I love each of the characters, but there was just something about Father Jack Hackett, he didn't need to speak, he just had an air of comedy about him.
Speed three, Are you right there Father Ted and Hell are three favourites, but genuinely they're all classics.
Will there ever be a show that's so funny?
Thanks for the laughter Father Ted, 10/10.
