1* ActorInspiredElement: Creator/DannyJohnJules came up with the gag of Cat dropping the tape containing Lister's mind into his tea during rehearsals.
2* {{Blooper}}: Lister's line "How else am I supposed to pilot ''White Midget''?" is left over from earlier in the development of the third season, when ''Starbug'' was a white-coloured larger variant of ''Blue Midget.'' The location footage for "Bodyswap" was filmed first, and presumably before the change to ''Starbug'' occurred.
3* DeletedScene:
4** The full version of Rimmer trying to persuade Lister to bodyswap was heavily cut down when it became clear that the audience was already ahead of the story. Rimmer guilt trips him and uses reverse psychology saying that he doesn't have the ambition to go to the gym, but Rimmer would.
5** A scene that continues Rimmer's indulgence and Lister's worry, and extended dialogue with the two actors copying each other. This includes Rimmer smoking cigars, feeling pains in his chest, drinking fattening eggnog, and eating giant cream cakes - which Rimmer smears all over Lister's face.
6** Another scene that continues to illustrate Rimmer's developing gluttony, as he helps himself to giant pies in a fridge Lister has signed with "no eating".
7** It is followed by a quick deleted line regarding Lister's tooth, which Lister says has a cavity that is filled with at least three meals.
8** A scene was taped in which Kryten lights Rimmer-as-Lister's cigar with his finger while they are in a sauna.
9* EditedForSyndication: Cut from a 2012 repeat:
10** Rimmer telling Lister that at the ages of 24 and 25, people become fat bastards.
11** Rimmer in Lister's body flicking [[VSign V-Signs]] at the others before his crash.
12** Lister in Rimmer's body calling Rimmer in Lister's body a bastard.
13* OnSetInjury: During the filming of the aforementioned sauna scene, Creator/RobertLlewellyn became so sweaty in his costume that his sweat short-circuited the wires used for the lighter and he was mildly shocked.
14* UncreditedRole: Lia Williams was credited for providing the voice of Carole Brown in the Radio Times, but not on the episode itself.
