Trivia

This episode shares its title with Waiting for God. This episode is the first episode on the original three episode video compilation "Series 1-Byte 2". But to avoid confusion, the title on the box is "Confidence and Paranoia", the second episode shown on the tape, to prevent fans of the other show from making an incorrect purchase. See more »

Goofs
