* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/TonyRobinson's most famous role is the imbecilic BumblingSidekick Baldrick in ''Series/{{Blackadder}}'', a complete 180 from the savvy, intelligent Sheriff. In fact, one gets the feeling hat Robinson fancied playing Blackadder for a change (with Gary and Grahame as his Baldricks).

* NonSingingVoice: While certain actors, such as Danny John-Jules, provide their own singing voices, several characters are dubbed over in the song numbers by professional singers. The show doesn't even try to hide this fact -- most of the singing voices sound nothing like the characters' speaking voices and Marian notably gets a distinct American accent when singing. This is mostly ignored but occasionally [[RuleOfFunny played for laughs]] and on occasion {{Lampshaded}}, such as when Marian interrupts a song number by telling the peasants to "stop miming!"
