Trivia:

When Chris says "Is she or isn't she?" after Shaz has been busy spraying hairspray everywhere, he is referring to a popular advert from the 1970s for Harmony Hair Spray where a woman's hairstyle has such natural-looking hold it causes observers to wonder whether she is or isn't wearing hairspray. Having seen Shaz's liberal display with the aerosol, Alex sharply retorts "She most definitely is!"
