- Actor Allusion: In the Hogmanay special, when Hamish tries to explain to Dougal who Tim Brooke-Taylor is, The Goodies are described as "him, Bill Oddie and..." "...the other one."
- Acting for Two: All the characters (except in the Hogmanay Special) are voiced by four actors, only one of whom is female. This is frequently Lampshaded.Mrs MacAllister: How can you stand here and say that to me?
Mrs Naughtie: It isn't easy.- In another episode, the Laird (played by Jeremy Hardy) had an argument with his mother (played by Jeremy Hardy with a silly high-pitched voice) which ended "Now take me home before anyone realises you're doing both voices". Not being a show to let a joke rest, the Laird's mother later had a party with Mrs Dougal, Mrs Hamish, and Grandpa Naughtie.
- Irony as She Is Cast: Jeremy Hardy (whose main career is as a very left-wing standup comedian) as the Laird.
- Non-Singing Voice: The episode "Fame Idol" hinges on Mrs Naughtie having a beautiful singing voice, played by opera singer Jane Gilchrist. There was inevitably one scene where Mrs Naughtie sang in her own voice, for no reason whatsoever.
