| 1 | * ActingForTwo: Lampshaded with the line "Listeners may have gathered from this sickening dialogue that Kenneth Williams is playing both parts." |
| 2 | * DiedDuringProduction: Kenneth Horne's unexpected death put an end to the series. |
| 3 | * CrossDressingVoices: Hugh Paddick as Madame Osiris Nomeclencher. |
| 4 | * ExecutiveMeddling: One of the vanishingly rare instances of benevolent meddling. When the MoralGuardians came after the show, the Beeb agreed to screen the show for indecent content. They sent a note to the writers saying "we see nothing that needs changing." |
| 5 | * ThrowItIn: Usually subverted, most of Kenneth Williams 'Rants' were written by the writers.[[note]]Although Kenny's later radio career involved getting far too competitive on the game show ''Radio/JustAMinute'' where he made some memorably unscripted, funny, long, rants - with just an edge of embittered resentful anger to them. This holds up the possibility that some earlier ranting on RTH might have also been ad-libbed around the script.[[/note]] |
| 6 | * QueerCharacterQueerActor: Gay couple Julian and Sandy were respectively played by Hugh Paddick and Creator/KennethWilliams, both of whom were gay in real life, with the latter also describing himself as asexual. |
