- Died During Production: Felix Dexter (Omar) passed away from Multiple Myeloma during the broadcast of Series 2. The final episode of Series 2 was dedicated to his memory and his final appearance was in that year's Christmas Special several months later.
- Dawson Casting: Inverted. Adil Ray was born in 1974 but is playing a character who is at least 15 years older than he is thanks to a fake beard and padding.
- Bhavna Limbachia b.1984, is playing Alia, a character somewhere in her teens. The fact she mostly wears a hijab helps disguise this.
- The Other Darrin: Subverted. Series 1 had a character named Dave played by Kris Marshall while subsequent series had a character named Dave played by Matthew Cottle, but they are different characters. The first episode of Series 2 had Mr. Khan rejoicing that the first Dave had left (so that a "real" Muslim could become mosque manager) only to loudly express his displeasure upon finding that the second Dave is the first one's Suspiciously Similar Substitute.
- Played straight with Shazia. Maya Sondhi departed the show after the Series 3 Christmas Special and Krupa Pattani took on the role for Series 4.
