1* ActingForTwo:
2** Most of Alan's guests were played by the same troupe of people (Rebecca Front, Patrick Marber, Doon Mackichan, David Schneider). The same troupe along with Creator/SteveCoogan all performed similar roles in the show's precursor, ''Series/TheDayToday''.
3** Coogan also voiced Creator/RogerMoore in the first episode. His impression is so good (watch the Trip) that Moore only found out about the scene after his father reprimanded him for his no-show.
4* ReferencedBy: The Clarkson-Hammond-May era of ''Series/TopGearUK'', with Jeremy Clarkson signing off each episode with "...and on that bombshell...good bye!" Ironically, Creator/SteveCoogan has been outspoken about his distaste for ''Top Gear'''s superficial nature.
5* ThrowItIn: The horse that Alan brings on in the first episode takes a dump on the studio floor. This was unrehearsed, but seamlessly woven into the show thanks to the improvisational skills of the cast.
