* AccidentalDownerEnding: The producers set out to make 3 seasons of the show, however, during season 2, a few episodes got rescheduled from Tuesday to Monday. A significant portion of viewers simply missed this rescheduling and gave up on the show leading to low viewing figures by the end of the second season. It all ended with Wilson having inherited the Mister Rabbit role and having all virus canisters in his possession. The producers did say that they intend to make a 3rd season at a later date, picking up a few years later InUniverse but the Covid pandemic might have thwarted even those plans possibly making a 3rd season only HarsherInHindsight.

* AcclaimedFlop: The second series had ''shockingly'' low viewing figures of less than a million, with the final two episodes' figures actually being too low to be recorded (as they were outside Channel 4's top 30 for the week), but there was still an outcry when it was cancelled and the series went on to win an International Emmy.
