All the France scenes were filmed over a period of two days in the middle of bad weather. All the shots which appear in the finished episode were taken when the weather finally died down. Also in this episode it is revealed that Patsy has never been married, while Edina has been married twice before.
The chateau scenes were filmed at the Chateau La Canorgue in Bonnieux, which also served as the main filming location for Ridley Scott's film A Good Year (2006).
When Patsy's luggage is searched, a paperback edition of the Judith Krantz novel Dazzle can be seen in her suitcase.
Near the end of the holiday at the cottage, Patsy is seen reading the 30 January 1992 issue of Paris Match, the cover of which announces Le Crash du Lyon-Strasbourg, La Nuit de l'Horreur. This apparently refers to the Air Inter Flight 148 crash near Strasbourg on January 20, 1992.
