- Banned Episode: The last episode of series 1, "Stand Up and Be Counted", featured a dishonest and homosexual Labour election candidate named on a poster as Pendry. Yorkshire Television was sued by Labour MP Tom Pendry for libel, and the master tape was wiped, so for a long time this episode was not broadcast. Channel 4 repeated the series in 1991 and restored the episode with a tape exported for overseas broadcast, covering up the poster and changing Michael Ward's credit from "Pendry" to "Labour Candidate".
- Recycled Script: The film's script is recycled from several series episodes, namely "The New Tenant", "A Body Like Mine" and "A Perfect Gentleman". The subplot of Philip revealing he is really a British African from Croydon comes from the play.
- Uncredited Role: Felix Bowness as a waiter in "A Night Out".
- You Look Familiar:
- John Clive played a Samaritan in "The Good Samaritans" and Welsh preacher Gwyn in "Fire and Brimstone".
- Helen Fraser plays both Gwen in "For the Man Who Has Everything" and the bride in "Pink Carnation".
