Heterosexual Life-Partners: Liam and Donal are more or less inseparable, to the point where seeing one without the other is enough to draw comment. | |

Hero's Classic Car: An elderly parishioner bequeaths Father Clifford a Jowett Javelin, a luxury car only produced from 1947 to 1953. It's unfortunately destroyed in series three when it rolls off a cliff after a visiting seminarian uses it and forgets to set the parking brake. | |

Vow of Celibacy | |
| Ballykissangel / int_c5474384 | comment |
Vow of Celibacy: Naturally Father Clifford's vow is the main stumbling block in his relationship with Assumpta. He's trying to be a good priest and keep their relationship purely platonic, but by season 3 it becomes increasingly clear it isn't working. He eventually renounces the priesthood, only for Assumpta to have a Bridge Dropped on Her. | |

Crossover | |
| Ballykissangel / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: Comic Relief did one between Ballykissangel and The Vicar of Dibley called "Ballykissdibley". There is also a homage at the start of an episode of Father Ted, where as Assumpta falls for the newcomer Father Ted Crilly, Father Clifford is seen in the background, bags packed, trying to attract their attention to the fact he is leaving. All he gets is a cursory "bye" from Assumpta as she falls for Ted... (And then he wakes up in bed in the priests' house on Craggy island). | |

| Ballykissangel / int_f5a3e496 | comment |
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Both leads leave after season 4. Father Clifford gets replaced by Father Aiden O'Connell, an ex-monk, and later Father Vincent Sheahan, an Australian. Assumpta gets replaced by Niamh in season 4 and then Oonagh in season 5 as the Fitzgerald's landlady. The Will They or Won't They? plots get farmed out to other pairings. | |

Suspiciously Specific Sermon | |
| Ballykissangel / int_ffbf846d | comment |
Suspiciously Specific Sermon: Played with in the episode where the village has gone nuts over the radio report that the jackpot-winning lottery ticket was bought in the town store. Everyone's trying like mad to figure out which of their number has suddenly become rich, with Quigley in particular trying to get them to invest with him. Father MacAnally, filling in for Clifford, gets fed up and delivers a hellfire-and-brimstone sermon on the Seven Deadly Sins, particularly lust and greed. But the sermon is short-circuited by one of the village kids coming into the church to reveal that the winner was announced to be a tourist from Dublin. | |
