 Linehan regrets the storyline involving multiple characters dressing as Elvis Presley, and considers it a typical sign of running out of ideas, and a particularly bad one in a programme's first series.One influence was "Stars in Their Eyes", which was popular at the time of writing.This episode introduces Father Dick Byrne, Father Cyril McDuff, Father Jim Johnson and their housekeeper, inhabitants of the nearby Rugged Island Parochial House, who bear a close resemblance to Ted, Dougal, Jack and Mrs Doyle.
