* ShowWithinAShow: The first series followed the (fictional) unbelievably low-budget cringey 'French & Saunders Show' that consisted of frequent {{epic fail}}s. This got increasingly meta; for instance one Season 4 episode is based around a ''Film/ThelmaAndLouise'' pastiche, in which the story is that they're filming a ''Thelma & Louise'' pastiche, but get stopped by an actual policeman, and much to Jen's horror, Dawn decides to go for it.
