    • This episode features Edina and Patsy becoming involved in a minor road rage incident with a woman driver. Around 8 years after this was originally shown on TV it is repeated regularly on UK Gold with the road rage scene intact. However on the rare occasion in which this episode was repeated on BBC2 in the 21st century this scene was cut, possibly because the BBC didn't want to encourage road rage.
    • This episode was meant to air third, but the BBC changed the order at the last minute.
    • This episode features some of the few shots of London "done outside of a car."
    • Eddie's full name: Edwina Margrette Rose Monsoon
