TRIVIA (1)
ADD TRIVIA-
Alfie Bass (who had a bit part as the doorman at the Indian restaurant in the Beatles movie Help!) pretty clearly flubs a line in his first episode. While showing Captain Peacock the photo of the two of them together in the Army, he says "...on his arm is a motto...". Realising he has just blown the line he hesitates a few seconds (an eternity on TV). Recovering himself, he then speaks what was probably the line he should have said in the first place "...a tattoo..."

ALLUSIONS (1)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Mr. Goldberg: Should I stay…
The closing scene of Mr. Goldberg's first show, was an accurate harbinger of Alfie Bass's relationship with AYBS? as a whole. Bass, who had played Bert Reed in a revival of Till Death Us Do Part, wanted his Mr. Goldberg character to do a great deal. At the end of this season, Bass went to Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft, asking that Mr. Goldberg's role be more important. When Lloyd and Croft couldn't make Mr. Goldberg bigger, Bass quit.
