- Hilarious in Hindsight: The American producer gushes over Mrs. Bale's "Plantagenet" face when he scouts the country house for use as a set. In 2015, Janet Henfry played Margaret Pole—a member of the Plantagenet family—in Wolf Hall.
- Retroactive Recognition: A taxi driver from "Living Together, But Where?" is played by Terry John, who would later be best known for playing Percy in Oh, Doctor Beeching!.
- Unintentional Period Piece: Given that much of the humor is driven by Jean and Lionel's reaction to the changes in the younger generation, this was bound to happen. Scenes in the office are now notable for the lack of computers on the desk, and among the things used to show Alastair as unorthodox and flash are his use of a cellphone and enjoyment of sushi.
- Values Resonance: Although she's occasionally painted as a Straw Feminist, many of the difficulties Jean (as well as Judy and Sandy) faces as a businesswoman are still relatable today, such as not being taken seriously or sexually harrassed by male clients, having her career viewed as the second-best option to having a man, and feeling unsafe when staying late at the office.
