We learn tha Eddie's full name is Edwina Margrette Rose Monsoon.
This episode was meant to air third, but the BBC changed the order at the last minute.
In a scene which turned into an outtake, Lumley races down the stairs holding four cigarettes in one hand, begging for a light. Saunders lights them, and Lumley smokes them all at once. Saunders asks, "Oh, no, Pats, not another no-smoking cab. They must see you coming these days." Launders says, "Bloody bastard asthmatic cab driver!" Saunders says, "Well, I hope you refused to pay him this time!" Lumley says casually, "It was on your account, Eds." Then, realizing, Lumley says, "Shit!" and Saunders turns away laughing. Knowing that the scene is blown, Lumley says to the camera, "They make me do this, 'cause I have to smoke just *packets* a day. I've actually given up smoking. So I find these lines very difficult." Saunders, knowing that Lumley has not quit smoking, replies, offhandedly, "It's good for you," and then, sweetly and slyly, "So perhaps you won't be around for the next series." Lumley opens her eyes and mouth wide, as if unbelieving that her best friend could say such a thing, then narrows her eyes, as though looking for a good come-back.
