  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: During the early 2000's, although it has since been restored. The series was first released on VHS in 1997, but due to copyright issues, the DVD release was put on hold for years. The DVD release would eventually come out in 2006. Later on, SVT would get the rights to add the series to its permanently accessible straming archive as well.
  • The Other Darrin: Dr. Deo's actor from the 1997 show passed away in 2015, so in the 2022 sequel series he is played by Simon J Berger, who is most famous for playing Ensemble Dark Horse Paul in the critically acclaimed drama Never Wipe Tears Without Gloves.
  • Troubled Production: According to Kenny's actor Johan Rheborg, the original 1997 show's production was "a total war zone", recounting how a stingy producer would rip out entire pages of the script while they were shooting footage because he thought the scenes were "too expensive" and then dismissed concerns about continuity with "the editors will think of something". Thankfully this mess didn't stop Kenny from becoming one of Rheborg's favourite roles.
