* CreatorBacklash: Despite this being probably Creator/TomBaker's best-known role apart from [[Series/DoctorWho the Fourth Doctor]] and perhaps the narrator of ''Series/LittleBritain'', he was so embarrassed by his performance that he felt he should have had his Equity card revoked. That said, he doesn't mind getting repeat fees.

* HostilityOnTheSet: Creator/TomBaker said that this was "a pretty miserable experience" because he became annoyed by the "highly opinionated" Creator/RowanAtkinson telling him how to do it. Atkinson wanted Baker to play Captain Rum as a crashing bore and underplay it instead of the more extravagant performance he had given in rehearsals. Baker took his advice and delivered a different performance for the technical run in the afternoon of the recording. However, the producer and director were horrified by this different interpretation, thinking he was ill, and told him to go back to playing it the way it was rehearsed. Baker said Atkinson never spoke to him again and he skipped the party after the show to avoid being snubbed by Atkinson.
