* ParodyEpisode: ''Five Go Mad in Dorset'' and its sequels parody ''Literature/TheFamousFive''; ''The Bullshitters - Roll Out the Gunbarrel'' is a parody of ''Series/TheProfessionals''; ''Consuela, (or The New Mrs Saunders'') is a parody of ''Film/{{Rebecca}}''; ''The Yob'' is a parody of ''Film/TheFly1986''; and ''Gregory: Diary of a Nutcase'' is a parody of ''Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs''. "Detectives on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" parodies an entire genre, as it riffs on cop shows from the glam camp of ''Series/JasonKing'' and the 'fast cars, guns and shouting macho men' action thrillers of ''Series/TheSweeney'' and ''Series/TheProfessionals'' from the 1970s, to the "broody kitchen sink psychological dramas" of 1990s shows like ''Spender''. They even throw in a bit of ''Series/TheSingingDetective''.

* DyingDream: ''Les Dogs'' has a man crashing his car at the very start of the episode; he then goes to a surreal wedding where he seduces the bride, starting a 10-year affair. Just as they are about to have sex, her eyes turn into headlights - there is a screeching sound and the film cuts to black.
