Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Have mercy on poor Father Ted Crilly. He has so much to contend with when it comes to dealing with the folks of Craggy Island, Ireland. There's Father Dougal McGuire, who is as dimwitted as they come; and then there is Father Jack Hackett who lives for the simple pleasures of life (sleeping, drinking, and swearing). Ted tries to bring stability to his congregation as well as the surreal townspeople of Craggy Island.

| Trivia | At the aftershow party (after taping the final episode), Ardal O'Hanlon 's father (a GP) ) expressed concern about Dermot Morgan, as he appeared unwell and told him he should see his doctor as soon as possible. Less than 24hrs later, Morgan suffered a massive and fatal heart attack. See more » |
| Goofs | The 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". See more » |

| Crazy Credits | The 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. See more » |
