* ThrowItIn: Usually subverted, most of Kenneth Williams 'Rants' were written by the writers.[[note]]Although Kenny's later radio career involved getting far too competitive on the game show ''Radio/JustAMinute'' where he made some memorably unscripted, funny, long, rants - with just an edge of embittered resentful anger to them. This holds up the possibility that some earlier ranting on RTH might have also been ad-libbed around the script.[[/note]]

** Bill Pertwee played the warden in ''Series/DadsArmy''.
** Hugh Paddick would many years later play [[InsistentTerminology a thespian]] in ''Series/{{Blackadder}}''.
