* HalfIdenticalTwins: Subverted in the sense that, whilst Sykes and Jacques would insist that they were identical twins, they looked completely different to each other — Sykes was very thin, while Jacques was a somewhat large lady — in addition to being the opposite sex.

* HoldingBothSidesOfTheConversation: One episode exists where the eponymous Eric pretends to be his own sister to try and fool a criminal uninvited guest (played by Creator/PeterSellers) who claims she once promised to marry him. There are a couple of scenes where Eric has to hold rapid-fire conversations with himself while changing clothes out of sight.

How To Create A Works Page: "Things not to include: quality judgements (don't say how much it sucked/how awesome it was), critical reception (that's just a specific variant of quality judgements), recommendations (don't tell us whether or not we should check it out)".

* GreasySpoon: The show has the roadside café version, where Eric and Hat buy one and try and convert it into something a little posher. It doesn't work as all they do is alienate the truckies. Then they convert it back and rake in the cash but can't keep up the gritty act as part of working there. [[spoiler:Then their snobby neighbour Mr. Brown buys it]].

** Richard Wattis died shortly after the 4th series. Mr. Brown was never referred to after that and Corky's roles became bigger.
** The series ended after Hattie Jacques died. Sykes described her as being like a real sister, without whom he could never continue the show.
