This episode sees the debut of Del Boy's famous catchphrase "This time next year, we'll be millionaires!"
Nick Stringer, who played the Australian man, would appear again as Del's old friend and business partner Jumbo Mills in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (1986).
While on a location shoot in London and during a break in filming, David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst took a spin in an E-Type Jaguar that was part of the episode. After 20 minutes, they got lost, threatening to put the episode behind schedule, which had a tight budget. They just managed to find their way back with seconds to spare.
This episode marks the first mention of Rodney's dream of women in uniforms, a dream that would come true twenty years later in If They Could See Us Now.....! (2001). Del is disturbed to discover the uniform definitely includes that of a woman PC.
This episode has the first appearance of Boycie.
