Rick shouts, "Vyvyan, you might have washed your hands!", prompting Vyv to walk over to the kitchen sink, kick it so that it falls of the wall, and wash his hands in the water flowing through where the tap used to be.

* Rick's DoubleTake at seeing Helen in his bed.
* The radio announcer tries to warn the lads that Helen (Jennifer Saunders), the mysterious girl Rick found in his bed that morning, is a murderess, but as Neil has been knocked unconscious (by Helen, of course), Rick and Vyvyan are busy fighting over whether or not Rick is still a virgin, and Mike is trying to seduce Helen (who is trying to kill him), no-one is paying attention...

to:

* Rick's DoubleTake at seeing Helen (Jennifer Saunders) in his bed.
* When Helen finally wakes up and comes down to the kitchen, Rick points at her and makes suggestive motions behind her back. When she turns around and sees him, he tries to cover by pretending to dance, saying, "Get down and groove! We dance all day in this house!" He quickly switches on the radio... which is playing a Gregorian chant.
*
The first radio broadcast that there is an escaped murderess comes from the radio station broadcasting the Gregorian chant, Captain Blood Radio (in the middle of the "Dull Religious Music Programme"). We cut away to the DJ, Billy Blood, a cyclops with a patch over his eye broadcasting from a ship on the high seas:
-->'''Blood:''' Yo ho ho, my arse. That it should come to this! ''(drinks from a shotglass; there is a knock at the door)'' Enter! ''(the Afro-Caribbean bo'sun enters)'' Ah, Fletcher!\\
'''Smythe:''' Er, no, sir. Smythe, the bo'sun, sir.\\
'''Blood:''' Ah, you're right. Can't see a thing with this damn patch on. ''(lifts it to reveal his single eye)'' Ah, you're a strapping young lad. Why don't you come and sit on your Uncle Billy's knee?\\
'''Smythe:''' ''(removing his hat)'' Aye aye, sir.\\
'''Blood:''' ''(angrily)'' "Eye, eye, sir"!? What the devil d'you mean by that? Was that some kind of joke to my ocular capacity?\\
'''Smythe:''' No, Captain!...\\
'''Blood:''' ''(marches to door)'' Well, I'll show you what we do with insubordination on my ship! ''(calls into corridor)'' Bo'sun!\\
'''Smythe:''' ''(pretending to have just entered)'' Yes, sir!\\
'''Blood:''' Ah, there you are. Take this man out and flog him!\\
'''Smythe:''' Very good, Captain. ''(replaces his hat and goes into the corridor, closing the door behind him; we hear him cracking a whip and pretending to yelp in pain for a moment, then he returns)''\\
'''Blood:''' Well?\\
'''Smythe:''' I flogged him, sir.\\
'''Blood:''' How much did you get? ''(chuckles)''\\
'''Smythe:''' ''(also chuckling)'' He'll rue the day he came to sea, sir!\\
'''Blood:''' ''(suddenly angry)'' "See"!? See what? Eh? Was he blind?\\
'''Smythe:''' No, Captain, I meant to say-\\
'''Parrot:''' He don't see nothin', you fat old cyclops!\\
'''Blood:''' Who said that?!\\
'''Smythe:''' That wasn't me, that was your parrot!\\
'''Blood:''' Parrot!? I don't have a parrot, why, I hate the creatures! Horrible, small, flying things, hopping around, breeding and eating carrots! ''(chases Smythe around the room, dragging the parrot along at the end of a rope and swinging it at Smythe)'' Next you'll be telling me I've got a talking dog! ''(suddenly, the ship shakes violently)'' Ahh! We've been scuppered!\\
''(cut to Neil shaking the radio)''\\
'''Neil:''' No, it's definitely knackered. I can hear something rattling around inside.\\
'''Helen:''' Oh dear, I am sorry. I don't know how I managed to spill tea on it from this distance.\\
'''Neil:''' Yeah! It was weird! You just seemed to, like, pick up the cup and violently throw it at the radio!\\
'''Helen:''' I am sorry, I really must apologise.\\
'''Mike:''' Oh, don't worry, Neil does it all the time.\\
'''Helen:''' Throws cups?\\
'''Mike:''' No, he apologises.

* The cricket game, where Vyv throws the ball to Mike, who swings and hits Neil in the face, and then again when Vyv never throws the ball and just bonks Rick on the head with it. Especially since Mike asks if that counts as six, to which Vyvyan responds, "Six? It would have been six if you'd killed him, Mike!"
* Vyvyan setting Rick's overalls on fire, and Rick and Mike's very nonchalant reaction.
* This:
--> '''Rick''': "God, I hate him! He's a bore, he's a dwip, and he's a bloody eavesdropper!"\\
--> '''Neil''': ''(sticking his head through the window)'' I heard that, Rick!\\

* One of the funnier bits of wordplay in the series:
-->''(the lads are standing by the grave they have dug for their as yet unnamed dead companion; Neil is holding a spade as a woman walks up pushing a wheelbarrow containing her dead husband's body)''\\
'''Woman:''' Excuse me... do you dig graves?\\
'''Neil:''' Er... yeah, they're all right.\\
'''Woman:''' ''(smiling)'' I'm so glad! I think they're wonderful! ''(walks off pushing her wheelbarrow)''

* Vyvyan eating ketchup with caviar and Rick trying to smoke several cigars at once.

to:

* After a massive lorry full of cash and luxury goods crashes into the house, the lads live like kings for a while, but, in typical NouveauRiche style, they have no clue how to behave properly, as we are treated to Vyvyan eating ketchup with caviar and Rick trying to smoke several cigars at once.

* From "Time", the radio announcer is trying to warn the lads that Helen (Jennifer Saunders), the mysterious girl Rick found in his bed that morning, is a murderess, but as Neil has been knocked unconscious (by Helen, of course), Rick and Vyvyan are busy fighting over whether or not Rick is still a virgin, and Mike is trying to seduce Helen (who is trying to kill him), no-one is paying attention...

* Neil: "When you guys said 'panic', I didn't think that meant ''hang me''."



* When the lads realise that, now that they've gone back to the Middle ages, there is no television, they decide there's only one thing to do: panic. A sped-up version of the closing credits theme plays (the series subverts our expectations that the film would be sped up to match by instead continuing at normal speed) as Mike, Rick, and Vyvyan put a noose around Neil's neck, throw it over a ceiling beam, and stand him on a chair before sitting down to watch television.
-->'''Neil:''' When you said "panic", I didn't think you meant "hang me".\\
'''Vyvyan:''' Rick, get the telly.\\
'''Rick:''' Right. ''(turns on telly to Jester Bolowski presenting ''Did Ye See?'', a parody version of TV discussion series ''Did You See...?'')''\\
'''Vyvyan:''' You're very lucky, Neil. ''(kicks chair away; as the other end of the noose is not tied to anything, Neil simply falls to the floor)''
