* TakeThat: He makes it clear that he doesn't like Robbie Williams very much.

* ShoutOut: His stage name is an obvious reference to his great-grandfather Billy Mack, a vaudeville star (whom Lee himself never met).

* {{Pilot}}: Lee was cast as Raymond in a British version of ''EverybodyLovesRaymond''. This never got past the pilot episode, which has so far not been released.
