- 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".

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
This is one of the best things to come out of Ireland since U2. Dermot Morgan plays Fr. Ted Crilly, a priest on Craggy Island which is supposedly off the west coast of Ireland somewhere. However, Ardal O'Hanlon who plays Fr. Dougal Mc Guire and Frank Kelly who plays Fr. Jack Hackett, steal all the shows as far as I'm concerned.
Graham Norton appears frequently throughout the series as Fr. Noel Furlong. He is very funny and my favourite episode of the series is Hell. This is where we meet Fr. Furlong for the first time. Ted goes on holidays to a caravan and he is already there with some youngsters from a youth club.
Some great one liners that will remain in the Irish psyche for a long time to come. "Drink, girls, arse, feck", the immortal words of Fr. Jack for example. You are missing out if you haven't seen this series. Rent it out today or buy it. It is definitely worth buying the series on tape. Feckin brilliant.
