    • Trivia
      In a 2016 interview with Stephen Colbert, actor John Slattery revealed he was up for the part of George Findlay for a US-based production of this show, and was almost cast, but at the last minute the producers decided to go with a then-unknown Stephen Colbert. The US show was never actually produced.
    • Quotes

      Audrey: You still want a muffin?

      George Findlay: Yes, dark bran.

      Audrey: What if he only has cranberry left?

      George Findlay: Oh God, this muffin thing again... Why whenever I ask for a bran, you always come back with cranberry?

      Audrey: Because... he's usually out of bran by now and cranberry happens to be all he has left.

      George Findlay: Oh, and you know why? I'll tell you why. Because he can't make five more bran muffins. So by eleven o'clock in the morning, there's something like thousand cranberry muffins, and... you know why they're sitting there...? Because everyone hates them.

      Audrey: How about apple cinnamon?

      George Findlay: How about... most of the commercial apple products made... are not made with real apple, they're made with turnips, and apple flavour.

      Audrey: Really?

      George Findlay: The entire muffin industry in this country is a joke.

    Different style, still one of the best things on tv
    While Ken has made the show much more darker (I think there has been a death in every show), it still remains an incredibly funny show. George Findlay was always the most interesting character in the original series, thus I have no problems with there being a lack of returning cast members. Amongst the new actors, I especially enjoy Matt Watts, whose deapan delivery makes his character much funnier than he should be. Overall, a solid return for Finklemen after all those artier than thou pretentious pieces that he did after the original series (More Tears was still good though).
