    • Trivia
      The masked surgeon in one of the "fake out" introductions is played by Douglas Adams.
    • Goofs
      During the "Woody and Tinny Words" sketch, four servants stand motionless and expressionless behind the rich family. When the father of the family fires a shotgun out the window the maid standing behind him involuntarily flinches. Twice throughout the rest of the sketch she has trouble keeping a straight face.
    • Quotes

      Mansfield Vermon-Jones, Father: Intercourse.

      Mother: Later dear.

      Mansfield Vermon-Jones, Father: No no no, the word, intercourse. Good and woody, intercourse.

    • Crazy credits
      Everyone in the credits is listed with their "social class". This devolves into humorous social classes such as "Slightly above the Queen".
    • Connections
      Edited from Monty Pythonin lentävä sirkus: Mr. Neutron (1974)
