The show is jointly written by Graham Linehan and Arthur Matthews. In the scene where it’s Ted’s birthday, the priest who stands and says he has to leave is Arthur Matthews. He also appears in ‘Speed 3’, the milk man episode.

This is one of those rare shows that gets better and better. You form surprising attachments to the characters. John and Mary ( the fighting couple ) were based around the idea of one of the writers family always arguing until they meet their local priest where they would transform into this pretend loving couple on their best behaviour.

Slightly interesting fact... for just £10 you can visit the house and sit inside for some tea and a scone. The current owner (at least when I went in 2018) owned the house when the series was filmed and shows you a lot of the parts of the house where filming took place. Her daughter helps with the serving and was the baby who appears in a later episode!

Most of the characters in the show, as I'm sure you're now aware, are solidly based on deeply ingrained stereotypes here in Ireland. I was raised Catholic, and was about 11 when this show came out, and remember how wild it seemed that priests - who were everywhere in society here, school and community-wise, were the subject of such outrageous comedy.

Picking out this as a weak episode is like picking out the least good looking Hollywood starlet... Father Ted has no 'bad' episodes imo. For instance I'm a huge Red Dwarf fan (I hesitantly rate it above Father Ted...just a personal opinion, I'm a sci-fi 'nerd'). However Red Dwarf certainly does have bad eps...I could go on but before season 3 it was VERY hit and miss...3-6 were genius but it went on after that for too long for me and I don't think that's controversial! Dermot Morgan reportedly died literally the day after filming the final episode of the final third season of Father Ted...It's horrible to speculate upon this further. But sufficed to say. _FT_ NEVER disappointed and ended on a total high...as a program...not so much behind the scenes for obvious reasons. 😢 Thankfully Dermot Morgans greatest contribution to one of the greatest sitcoms of all time will live on forever, so long as 'Dougals' like you two continue to become aware of his work... As a totally irrelevant side-note, if only the TV adaption of THGTTG was as well done as the book...it was 'ok'. The 2005 film was VERY mediocre. But if either had been done well, they could have been the greatest. Also RIP Douglas Adams...So long and thanks for...something fishy maybe. I can't remember because I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle. And I've misplaced my towel! Some passionate THGTTG fan/talented Producer/Scriptwriter/Director seriously needs to do Adam's work the same justice that Jackson did for TLOTR. Seriously. If done correctly, it would even eclipse Red Dwarf by a country mile...easily. I'm sure Grant Naylor' would agree!
