1* ActorAllusion: Ben Theodore apparently won a Laurence Olivier Award for his performance in an angsty stage production. As did [[Theatre/SpringAwakening Iwan Rheon]], the actor who played him. Although the character otherwise seems to be a fairly straightforward {{expy}} of Creator/BenWhishaw.
2** Speaking of Whishaw, in series two Simon gets cast as Ariel in Ben Theodore's production of ''Theatre/TheTempest''. The same role Whishaw played in the recent film.
3* TheCharacterDiedWithHim: Geoffrey Hutchings, who played Simon's grandpa, died after the filming for series 1 finished. In series 2, his empty armchair remains in the living room [[spoiler:until it gets set alight by Simon's disgruntled conquest]] and it's heavily implied that his grandma's constant cheeriness and obsession with minutia is a way of dealing with the grief.
