Trivia / Father Ted S2E1 "Hell"

• Creator Couple: The married couple who the priests continuously encounter during their holiday are played by real-life married couple Luke and Ann Hayden.
• Write What You Know: The writers based the episode on their own childhood experiences. The caravan park was based on Graham Linehan's memories of being taken on 2-week long holidays to grim caravan parks where it would always rain and there would be a plentiful supply of children to bully him. He would describe it as a "holiday in Hell", hence the episode's title. The unusual attractions such as The Magic Road were based on real-life locations Arthur Mathews had visited.
