Ok this episode is strange but with a funny side. This episode shows that a small amount of detail can make all the difference. Looking after sheep in this episode is needs a highly skilled eye and Father Ted has that eye. Mrs. Doyle is mostly scared for this episode but she still comes out with humour, as always.
As strange as this episode is, this is carefully written not to confuse us all and to make us laugh as well. Although the way they end this episode is funny and it does make you wonder should Father Ted have said anything at all because a small fortune was missed out!moreless

- Dougal: (about the Beast) And some of his ears are on the inside of his head and when he yawns it sounds like Liam Neeson chasing a load of hens around inside a barrel. Edit
- Hud Hastings: Giant, have you heard about this creature going around terrorising sheep on the island? Giant Reid: No. Tell me more. Hud Hastings: They say it's as big as a jaguar. Giant Reid: The car? Hud Hastings: No. The big cat thing. And it's face is all teeth. Big white teeth as sharp as knives. Giant Reid: Has it killed yet? Hud Hastings: No, but it's only a matter of time. Giant Reid: Hope it doesn't get any of my sheep. Hud Hastings: No man's sheep is safe. Giant Reid: Oh dear! Hud Hastings: Oooohhhhhhhhhh! Giant Reid: Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh! Hud Hastings: Oooohhhhhhhhhh! Giant Reid: Oooohhhhooohhhh! Hud Hastings: Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh! Giant Reid: Oooohhhhhhhhhh! Hud Hastings: Oooohhhhhhhhhh! Giant Reid: Oooohhhhhhhhhh! Hud Hastings: Oooohhhhhhhhhh! Giant Reid: Oooohhhhhhhhhh! Edit
- Dougal: I'm not surprised Ted. If I was a sheep. I'd be watching my back right now. Ted: Why? Dougal: Because of the beast. They say it's as big as four cats, and it's got a retractable leg so as it can leap up at you better and you know what Ted, it lights up at night, and it's got four ears. Two of them are for listening and the other two are kind of back-up ears, and it's claws are as big as cups and for some reason it's got a tremendous fear of stamps and Mrs. Doyle was tellin' me that it's got magnets on it's tail so's if you're made out of metal it can attach itself to you, and instead of a mouth it's got four arses.
