Trivia

 * This episode was the third episode that received a DVD commentary, which was done by Lee Mack and director Alex Hardcastle.
 * While it was the third episode screened, it was the first filmed. On the DVD commentary Lee Mack explained that it was done due to the fact guest star Julia Morris was several months pregnant and it was filmed first to prevent having to deal with a very noticeable baby-bump, which wouldn't suit her character.

Filming locations

 * The scene where Lee is dressed in a gorilla costume was filmed in The Mall, Camberley, Surrey. The Barratts store is now a Jack Wills.
