Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- When Graeme flops onto the beanbag after the fight with Bill, there is a message on the board behind him which says 'It's Still Gibbon Time', referring to the song 'Funky Gibbon'. Edit
- While watching this episode during its original airing, a 50 year old man named Alex Mitchell could not stop laughing for 25 minutes and then died from the strain it put on his heart. This is probably the most well-known incident of someone actually dying from laughing. Edit

- (Tim and Graeme are teaching themselves Kung Fu from a book) Graeme: Right, you stand there. Tim: You're not gonna hurt me are you? Graeme: Slightly. Tim: (crying) I don't wanna be hurt. Graeme: Now Tim, Tim, there is an old Chinese proverb; The King of Kung Fu… doesn't cry a lot. Edit
- (coming in and finding Tim out cold on the ground) Bill: Oh, hello… what's the matter with him, then? Graeme: I killed him. Bill: Oh you are careless, y-you really are, honestly! What's for dinner, Graeme? Graeme: We were doing Kung Fu… Bill: I'm not eating that! Edit
- Bill: Oh that Kung Fu, load of rubbish, doesn't work that. Tim: (wakes up) What happened? Bill: There you see, that proves it doesn't it. You said he was dead! Like Chinese food that is… half an hour later you have to kill him again. Edit
