 While Roy and Moss escaped the second half of the play by impersonating a disabled person and a member of staff, Jen remained watching the play with Philip. Jen was made extremely uncomfortable by her doubts about Philip's sexuality, and eventually asked him on their way home if he was gay. Philip stated that he was heterosexual, and convinced Jen until he suddenly broke down in tears and confirmed that he was running from the truth that he was a homosexual. Philip then said that he only went out with Jen because she looks 'a bit like a man', at which point Jen fled the scene in a taxi.

 * [[Moss]] kisses [[Roy]] at the end of the episode to get out of trouble; he again attempts to repeat this tactic during [[Bad Boys]] when he believes the two are being followed by a security guard.
 * Despite being credited as a member of the main cast, Douglas does not appear in this episode. This is never explained as to why, as he plays an important role in the following episode. It is possible he is being treated for his gunshot wounds sustained from the previous episode [[From Hell]], when he accidentally shot himself in the leg. This is likely as in the following episode [[Tramps Like Us]], there are no visible signs that he is still injured.
 *This episode marks John Willie Hopkins' second appearance as the postman. He previously appeared in the show's pilot episode [[Yesterday's Jam]]. This will mean he has the longest gap between appearances, being two series and an episode.
 *The football phrase "Did you see that ludicrous display last night" is used again later in the episode [[Something Happened]].

 *Contrary to popular [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity Christian belief] Heaven is portrayed as containing evil doers, both Hitler and Denholm were, in their own respects, evil. However it is possible that this is a disguise upon the traditional appearance to make it more appealing to Douglas. It should also be noted that Douglas is dressed in identical clothing to Denholm, suggesting he shares a similar fate to his father.
