  • Cast the Expert: In the sketch where an Anglican minister and a college professor decide the existence of God via wrestling, the characters were played by real pro wrestlers.
  • Dolled-Up Installment: Graham Chapman and John Cleese originally wrote The Mouse Problem for The Magic Christian.
  • Edited for Syndication: In the "Mouse Problem" sketch, the address and phone number of an interview subject who has admitted to wanting to be a mouse are displayed and read out by John Cleese. In the original broadcast from 1969, the phone number was David Frost's home phone number, and after fielding a large number of prank calls, an annoyed Frost complained to The BBC, who edited the number out of the first re-runs in August 1970.
