| Trivia | When ITV wanted to repeat the programme some years after it was originally shown, all the cast gave their permission with the exception of David Jason who vetoed the plan on the grounds that he looked raw in those days and he was not anxious to share that with his public, thus denying other cast members of much-needed repeat fees.
