 This episode was the second to be recorded, and the writers originally planned to air it first; they later moved it to second, feeling that "Good Luck, Father Ted" would make a better introduction, and finally moved it to third because of Mathews's particular love for "Entertaining Father Stone".This causes a continuity error, as the VCR that Father Hernandez gifts to the priests is already present in "Entertaining Father Stone".The cinema used was the Ormonde in Greystones, Co.Wicklow.
