** John Quayle was the first choice for Jeffrey Fairbrother, but he was busy with the National Theatre. Creator/SimonCadell was cast instead and later went on to become Croft's son-in-law.
** Croft favoured Ronnie Hilton for Ted Bovis, but he wasn't experienced enough to play the role. Perry chose Creator/PaulShane after he had seen him in an episode of ''Series/CoronationStreet''.
** Peggy wasn't in the {{Pilot}} at first. It was only when Richard Stone introduced Croft and Perry to Creator/SuPollard that they created the character, as they liked Pollard too much to not have her in the series.
