** Despite Richard being shown attending church with Hyacinth, Creator/CliveSwift was actually Jewish and by his own admission, Swift was nothing like Richard and was known to tell fans to fuck off if they approached him.
** Richard drives a 1987 Rover 216S saloon, of which Hyacinth is (naturally) immensely proud, frequently disdaining the age of neighbour Elizabeth's car by comparison. Said car is a 1989 Austin Metro city hatchback and is thus ''newer'' than Richard's car.
** A building example, if that's even possible. Hyacinth frequently brags to Elizabeth that her sister Violet has a swimming pool at her house. The one used to stand in for Elizabeth's actually had a pool in its garden, that of course couldn't be shown on screen.

* Alf Garnett from ''Series/TillDeathUsDoPart'', a right-wing anti-Semite, was played by Creator/WarrenMitchell, who had left-wing views and was Jewish. This gets even more interesting when you take football allegiances into account, for the West Ham United-supporting Alf was often disdainful of Tottenham Hotspur, on account of their supposed reputation as a Jewish team... and Mitchell was a Spurs fan.
