    • Trivia
      When Douglas is interviewed and asked why he likes Churchill, he says "I just like the way he goes, 'Ah, yes. Ah, yes'". This is a reference to the Churchill insurance commercials, which feature a talking bulldog bobblehead for a mascot.

      Jen: [Moss has a small plastic box with a flashing light] What is it?

      Moss: This, Jen, is the Internet.

      Jen: What?

      Moss: That's right.

      Jen: This is the Internet? The whole Internet?

      Moss: Yep. I asked for a loan of it so that you could use it in your speech.

      Jen: It's so small.

      Moss: That's one of the surprising things about it.

      Jen: Hang on, it doesn't have any wires or anything.

      Moss: It's wireless.

      Jen: Oh, yes, everything's wireless nowadays, isn't it... yeah. So, I can really use it in my speech? What if someone needs it?

      Moss: Oh, no, no, people will still be able to go online and everything. It will still work.

      Jen: Oh, good, good...

      Moss: I tell you, you present this to the shareholders and you will get quite the response.

      Jen: Can I touch it? It's so light!

      Moss: Of course it is, Jen. The Internet doesn't weigh anything.

      Jen: No, of course it doesn't.

      [laughs nervously]

      Roy: Hey! What is Jen doing with the Internet?

      Jen: Moss said I could use it for my speech.

      Roy: Are you insane? What if she drops it?

      Jen: I won't drop it, I'll look after it.

      Roy: No. No, no, no, no, Jen. No, this needs to go straight back to Big Ben.

      Jen: Big Ben?

      Moss: Yep. It goes on top of Big Ben. That's where you get the best reception.

    Waste My Time
    As a rule I don't waste my time on episodes. If you are a fan British comedy? This is the episode where cerebral comedy at it best. Monty Python would be proud. The fight scene can only be appreciated after multiple viewing. Iran and I'm a man is why British comedy is the best.
