Trivia / Father Ted S 3 E 2 Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep

• Creator Backlash: Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews both consider this to be arguably the worst episode of the show, pointing to the fact that the episode's best-remembered line was ad-libbed by Ardal O'Hanlon after he didn't like the lines he was given as proof that they hadn't done their jobs properly.
• Throw It In!: Dougal gives a number of increasingly ridiculous descriptions of the "Beast of Craggy Island," culminating in the Logic Bomb claim of "instead of a mouth, it's got two faces." Ardal O'Hanlon didn't think this was funny, and so during filming changed it to "instead of a mouth it's got four arses," which caused the studio audience to laugh for so long that Dermot Morgan had to wait nearly a minute to continue, and the writers had to concede that, low-brow as it was, O'Hanlon's version was the funnier one.
