** An extension to the "What is it?" sequence, where time begins to loop as the Dwarfers prepare to leave, with Lister shouting "Well then, let's go!". Presented on the DVD with the loop 'performed live', rather than being done through editing.
* TroubledProduction: Although Ed Bye is credited as having directed this episode, he was actually unavailable due to illness. The show's executive producer, Paul Jackson, stepped in to cover the direction duties with a Christmas party hangover. Creator/DannyJohnJules, infamous for being late, thought it was a joke by crewmembers when he was told that Paul Jackson was directing, since Paul was known for his short temper and insistence on being punctual. He still turned up late, and as expected, enraged Jackson. According to Creator/ChrisBarrie, Paul Jackson's presence alone caused the crew to suddenly double in size. Creator/RobertLlewellyn even commented on a soundman walking precariously along the gantry above the set, "risking life and limb," and various other crewmembers removing nails with their teeth and Naylor remarked that some carpenters were hammering in other nails with their heads, humorous references to the fear that Jackson struck into the hearts of the crew.

* ActorInspiredElement: While the Cat's line about Holly banging her head on the screen was always in the script, Holly actually doing so later was thought up by Creator/HattieHayridge, who recalled:
-->{{Creator/Danny|JohnJules}} had the line, you know, "She can't count to three without banging her head on the screen", and I said, "I've never banged my head on the screen", and they went, "Oh, it doesn't matter". So, I said, "Well, why don't I just bang my head on the screen and then it makes sense". It's probably why they got rid of me, going, "Oh, God, can't she just shut up!".

* TroubledProduction: Director Ed Bye fell ill and was hastily replaced by the show's executive producer, Paul Jackson, who soon came into conflict with Creator/DannyJohnJules after the latter was late to set, with Jackson later frequently chewing him out for flubbing lines during the shoot.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The episode was originally based on the "Garbageworld Earth" sequence from the novel ''Better Than Life''. But then the producers realized how incredibly expensive that would be and based it on the "Pool with planets" sequence instead.
