- Actor-Inspired Element: It's mentioned that Basil was a tank driver in the war; Michael Bilton served in World War II and was wounded at El Alamein.
- Missing Episode: The show did two hour long Christmas episodes between seasons three and four and four and five. When the show aired in the US, these Christmas specials were skipped and unseen until the show was released on DVD. While the first Christmas episode is skippable, the second one held explained away Basil's departure from the show (the actor had died between seasons; the character however was written out by leaving the home to go on a world cruise) and introduce Jamie, Jane's father, who moves into the nursing home and replaces Basil as Tom's male best friend.
- Underage Casting:
- 70-something Diana Trent was played by then 50-year-old Stephanie Cole.
- Basil is said to be a First World War veteran in an early episode, but Michael Bilton was only born in 1919.
