This episode guest stars Fulton MacKay as Rev McGubbin.

A 1988 BBC Video features this episode, and it includes the onscreen title 'The Marriage'. The video case sleeve states the same title.

However, DVD releases have made a slight cut to the episode to remove the title, and on the DVD cover renamed the episode 'The Wedding', presumably someone decided it sounded better.

This special 50 min episode saw the return of The Vital Spark after six years to celebrate 50 years of BBC Scotland. It was shown on 5th March 1973, in colour for the first time.

The following year, 1974, saw a third series, which consisted of remakes from the previous two black and white series (1965-1967).

The new colour remakes in Series Three were:- 19 Sept 1974; The Duel. 26 Sept 1974; The Quarrel. 3 Oct 1974; A Drop O' The Real Stuff. 10 Oct 1974; Bad Luck Cargo. 17 Oct 1974; Macphail's Week. 24 Oct 1974; A Good Man Gone.

Highland Voyage was made in about 1964, and isn't an actual episode of The Vital Spark, though it is often included on video and DVD releases. It features Duncan Macrae, who appeared in the original Para Handy series, which was made in 1959.
