Daddy's sign said "If you love me let me know". While driving Daddy around, with the sign, Hyacinth got yells from a passing car of yong men, kissed fingertips and the right-of-way from a gent at an intersection, and a whistle from a dirty-looking guy.

This is the final guest appearance of Mrs. Councillor Nugent in the series.

When Hyacinth and Mrs. Nugent enter the toy store, the sign on the door says PULL, but they push the doors in order to get in.

This is the only episode in the entire series not to feature the nextdoor neighbour Elizabeth, and the only episode not to feature her brother Emmet, since his arrival at the beginning of Season 2.

This is Shirley Stelfox's final appearance as Rose. Starting in season 2, Mary Millar plays Rose.

Also, this is the only episode featuring Onslow and Daisy's daughter.

Jonny Lee Miller plays the Toy Boy - most recently seen as ABC's Eli Stone. Miller was married to Angelina Jolie for 4 years.

When Hyancinth says "We're practically in Beirut," the boom microphone quickly bobs into the frame.
