  • Cult Classic
  • Friday Night Death Slot: See Screwed by the Network.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: The soap has never been repeated or released on home media since its end in 2003. The reason is due to sheer number of songs used on the soundtrack throughout the series would make a DVD release financially impractical as each artist would need to be paid a royalty fee. Luckily, one YouTuber has put up several episodes, though not every episode, but every episode are available to watch on Veoh.
  • Screwed by the Network: What ultimately resulted in their demise. ITV executives scrapped the daytime editions six months after its premiered due to low ratings. Though the soap managed to get a cult fanbase thanks to the nighttime omnibus on ITV2, ITV moved the show to a Thursday night graveyard slot with some episodes airing without commercials on the post late fringe hours of Friday mornings.
  • What Could Have Been: Pitched not as an ongoing soap, but as an hour-long, weekly prime-time drama comprising, say, a quarter of the omnibus-length episodes that eventually aired, it might have gained decent ratings and been recommissioned for three more series. Or even more.
