Father Ted/Trivia: Difference between revisions

* [[Author Existence Failure|Actor Existence Failure]]: As stated in the main section, Morgan's death was not the reason for the show ending, but the popular conception that it was the cause is a difficult one to refute. It did also have an effect on the last show, which was re-edited to be a [[Really Dead Montage|farewell to the fans]] ([[Too Soon|and to remove a scene where Ted contemplates suicide]]). Had he not died there probably would have been [[Executive Meddling|a lot of pressure]] to continue.

* [[Creator Backlash]]: Despite being two of the more popular episodes among fans, Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews admit in the series scriptbook to not being entirely happy with how "New Jack City" and "Night of the Nearly Dead" turned out; the former because they felt far too much of the episode was taken up with Father Stack just being a jerk, and the latter because they were running out of ideas and had to resort to several comedic devices they wouldn't normally use.

* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Practically every major figure in Irish comedy appears somewhere.

** Graham Norton had a recurring role before he got his own talk show.
