* TheScrappy: Mike isn't anywhere near as popular as Rick, Vyvyan, or Neil, but Alexei Sayle's various roles appear to be most disliked, possibly because of how they [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment come out of nowhere]] and [[SomethingCompletelyDifferent proceed to interrupt]] the episode for several minutes. Rick is probably this in-universe, as well as Neil to some extent.

** Not as blatant as Rick and Vyvyan, but there's some FoeYay with Rick and Neil, particularly the way Rick seems to have NoSenseOfPersonalSpace with Neil at all.

Added DiffLines:

** In the ''Bachelor Boys'' book, Rick writes a [[StylisticSuck spy story]] in which he emphasises that the hot air hostess who wants to shag him is "a ''real'' girly, don't forget, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial not Vyvyan in a dress]]."

--> '''Rick:''' Urgh, Mike, Vyvyan's gone all funny! He says he wants to kiss my bottom!
--> '''Vyvyan:''' Oh! Did I say kiss you on the bottom? I'm very sorry, what I meant was, ''stick a pickaxe through your spinal column!!''

* TearJerker: Surprisingly, the very end of the series where the bus they stole crashes and explodes. The ending credits have everyone who was in the series listed in alphabetical order, and not by what they contributed, which seemed kind of heartwarming and out of place at the same time. The sad "doo-wop" music also contributed.
