Trivia for the cartoon:
- Acting for Two: Several examples in Season 1.
- Richard Waugh voices Sir Galahot, as well as Cinder & Clinker
- Richard Binsley voices both Sir Blaze and The Wandering Minstrel
- John Koensgen voices Count Geoffrey and Evil Knight No. 1
- John Stocker voices Sir Burnevere and Evil Knight No. 2
- Dan Hennessey voices Sir Hotbreath and Evil Knight No. 3
- Cross-Dressing Voices: Steven Sutcliffe as Queen Griddle.
- Fake Brit: Although all the characters possess British accents, the voice actors for the show are all Canadians.
- International Coproduction: Between Nelvana in Canada and Ellipse Animation in France for Carlton Television in Britain.
- Only So Many Canadian Actors: Many of the common Toronto-based voice talents of 80s and 90s Canadian cartoons pop up in the series, but the show also prominently featured many actors better known for their work in Canadian stage theater.
- The Other Darrin:
- In the first season, Sir Loungelot was voiced by Stratford Festival vet Scott Wentworth. In the second season, he was voiced by fellow Stratford Festival vet Juan Chioran.
- Count Geoffrey was voiced by John Koensgen (who is normally Ottawa-based) in season 1 and by Cedric Smith in season 2.
- Due to Cedric Smith replacing John Koensgen as Count Geoffrey, Evil Knight No. 1 (also voiced by John Koensgen) was voiced by Rick Jones in Season 2.
- Screwed by the Network: While the series did fairly well in Europe (especially in the UK), and Canada to a lesser extent, it had a lot of trouble on Toon Disney in the United States. Episodes were aired in graveyard slots at extremely late night hours (or extremely early morning hours) with absolutely no promotion, and the show also faced a lot of censorship from Disney (particularly of Sir Blaze's implied homosexuality and a few of the more risqué jokes). As a result of the show's poor ratings and inability to find an audience in the States, cancellation followed soon after.
- Short Run in Peru: Although produced in Canada, the show didn't make its debut in the country until 1997, with the launch of Teletoon.
- Troubled Production: As detailed in this retrospective on the series
, the series suffered from this in its second season, as the change from a half-hour format to a Two Shorts format made the show much more difficult for the writers to handle, in part due to the more "crammed" nature of the plots and a more complex issue that series director Larry Jacobs explains below:“The series line producer for the second season made the mistake of assuming the length of a half episode was much longer than the Channel 4 (UK) specs. We had to scramble and tighten a lot of the episodes to fit into a shorter time slot at the last moment! This created some frenetic pacing in places but that wasn’t really a bad idea in the end!”
Trivia for the game:
- Celebrity Voice Actor: Top billing goes to creator Terry Jones, plus Cheech Marin and Harry Shearer.
- Keep Circulating the Tapes: The game has not had a re-released since 1996.
- The Other Darrin: None of the original Canadian cast from the series voiced their characters in the game. It is particularly noteworthy because while Jeff Bennett is a Man of a Thousand Voices he made no effort to emulate Scott Wentworth, possibly indicating that the series and the game were made side-by-side meaning he wouldn't have been able to emulate Scott's portrayal. Here is the full list...
- Squire Flicker: Edward Glen for the series, Joseph Rye for the game.
- Princess Flame: Stephanie Morgenstern for the series, Kath Soucie for the game.
- King Allfire: Aron Tager for the series, Jim Cummings for the game.
- Sir Loungelot: Scott Wentworth for the series, Jeff Bennett for the game.
- Sir Blaze: Richard Binsley for the series, Gregg Berger for the game.
- Sir Burnevere: John Stocker for the series, Terry Jones for the game.
