Kicking Bishop Brennan Up the Arse Arthur Mathews, named "Kicking Bishop Brennan Up the Arse" as their favourite episode in a documentary aired during Channel 4's "Father Ted Night"; "Speed 3" was chosen by a vote on the Channel 4 website. Ted is extremely worried about the forfeit, and is convinced that Bishop Brennan will send him to a parish even worse than Craggy Island after he kicks him "up the arse". Dick Byrne has insisted that Father Dougal take a photograph as proof; he also calls Brennan, saying that his likeness has miraculously appeared in the skirting board of the Craggy Island parochial house; the
Father Ted Crilly Dougal says that they will live together on the island forever, and a montage of clips from all previous episodes is shown before the episode ends. The episode originally ended by flashing forward a year to the next conference. Ted sees Father Kevin standing on the ledge again; instead of helping, he joins him on the ledge, preparing to jump himself. The scene was cut and replaced with the montage following Morgan's death and poor reaction from audiences. Mathews later noted that the original ending still left Ted's fate ambiguous, and would have suggested the possibility of future episodes. Linehan
