- Lucien Sanchez: Not my fault, monkey bastard hands! edit »
- Garth Marenghi: I realized that man needs to keep in touch with his primal urges, whether through sport or through violent movies. Otherwise, we'd end up like Bill Wyman. edit »
- Dean Learner: (About Madeleine Wool) It’s so hard to watch this episode knowing that she is now missing presumed dead. With the presumption heavily on dead. edit »
- Rick Dagless: 2, 3, 4, 5? Oh yeah, I shot Duncan. edit »
- Dean Learner: I punched one of the child actors on set because they were rude about Garth’s writing. It’s more of a back of the hand than a punch, but they came up in a big red bruise, someone took a photo of it, blah, blah, blah, cry, cry, cry, I don’t see it as a problem. edit »
- The dream that Rick has is a parody on Joan of Arc: The Messenger. There are all the apes running past him, in Joan of Arc wolves charge past her after she looks one way then the other in the wood where she sees her visions as a child. edit »
