Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe original ending featured Father Ted joining other priests on a small ledge, preparing to commit suicide by jumping. However, due to Dermot Morgan's untimely death just one day after filming ended, the writers changed it to a happier ending featuring clips from every episode; although they later said that the sadder ending "just didn't work".
- GoofsWhen the group is preparing to leave for the airport, Jack sits on a suitcase. He is clean shaven and the usual "debris" on his face is absent. However, at the airport, he has beard stubble on his face.

Father Dougal: [at the Airport] I think this is the greatest moment of my life!

Featured review
Thanks for the laughs Father Ted.
I always watched this episode with a sense of sadness, sad for the early passing of Dermot, sad that the show ended, and sad that with the content of the episode.
I now need to rethink how I look upon this episode, it's another quality piece in the wonderful jigsaw that is series three. More absurdity, more outrageous laughs, the way Ted dances to the music whilst his poor guest is feeling so dark inside, and of course that scene when Radiohead are played.
That montage at the end reminds us just how incredibly funny this special series was, it never dates.
Would the show have carried on had Dermot not passed away, I'm not so sure, I feel like it had reached its natural conclusion. 8/10.
