** Tony Hall, the BBC's real life Director General at the time the show was made, is depicted as an eccentric who nonetheless terrifies the staff without ever being shown on screen.

* TheUnseen: BBC Director General Tony Hall (the RealLife holder of that position at the time ''W1A'' was made) serves as an omnipresent force on the program, with every character basing their decisions on how he'd react. The closest viewers ever get to see him, however, is his office door. He does turn up in the final episode, but doesn't speak or interact with any of the main characters at all.

!Tropes in [=W1A=]:

** In the Series 2 premiere, Jeremy ***'s name has to be bleeped out and his face (in archival footage) blurred because he is the subject of an (in universe) internal BBC investigation over his use of offensive language. ([[HilariousInHindsight The episode was shot before]] ***'s real-life "fracas" with a producer on ''Series/TopGear''.)

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Siobhan Sharpe, who is even worse here than in ''Twenty Twelve''. Hired on the (completely incorrect) assumption that because she and Ian both worked on the Olympics, they must be a really great team, she spends the entire series obliviously undermining Fletcher's work, while her Perfect Curve colleagues develop a new BBC logo that nobody asked for, and that accidentally turns out to be [[spoiler:the Star of David]].
