- 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
I can only say that the TV will never be the same without Father Ted. I know it ended so long ago, but I have only just encountered this site. It had humour that only Dermot Morgan (Father Ted), RIP, could only have imagined. I remember seeing his work on the Late Late Show in Ireland as a kid growing up there. But not realising then what I know now is that he was a thoroughbred genius. Sadly to say we will never see the likes of him again. The comedy is class and it is only a shame that somebody someday will make a "remake" of it and it will be not a scratch on the original. Oh well. But there is still a lot more to come from the Emerald Isle, check out D'Unbelievables, they were in Father Ted, one of them wore the "I SHOT JR" T-Shirt and the other was the cinema owner and in another episode the Eurovision song contest compere.
