  • In this episode, it is clear that Sylvia is friends with Dr. Nicholson, whom she calls by his first name, Malcolm. This relationship is developed later on in the show. edit »
  • This episode focuses on Sylvia's unhealthiness and how hard it is for her when she is put on a new fitness regime. However, we later find out that she is a successful ballroom dancer. This may be a little bit unrealistic, as dancing often requires high levels of cardiac and aerobic fitness. edit »
  • After being absent for three episodes, Simone Lahbib reappears as Helen Stewart in this episode, in a somewhat different role.
    The actress was offered a reduced role for the second series after the network airing Bad Girls decided that the character could not hold up the show well enough. edit »
  • Sylvia: The hours I work. It’s more like the Burma railway than an English prison. edit »
  • Shell: My dad. It wasn't his fault. I wanted it. The judge who sent me down, he said I was evil personified. I must have been to have wanted that.
    Karen: To have wanted what?
    Shell: Sex with my father. edit »
  • Helen: I've missed you Nikki.
    Nikki: I've missed you, since you left -
    Helen: Well I'm here now.
    Nikki: Till you get bored of coming, or till you meet someone else, like Trish did. edit »
  • Crystal: I'm a virgin and I'm proud of it and I will stay that way until my wedding night innit.
    Julie J: You wanna hurry-up and get married love. You don't know what you're missing. edit »
  • Karen: I don't like liars and I don't like skivers. One more slip...I did think four weeks training would be enough. I'm extending it to three months now and if I see you in that neckbrace again I'm going to rip it off and stick it where the sun don't shine. Now get out - and start behaving like a senior officer.
    Sylvia: Yes ma'am. edit »
