    • Trivia
      Almost all episodes of the show featured live performances from a singer or band. This enabled the BBC to categorise the show as 'Light Entertainment' rather than 'Comedy', and therefore provide a bigger budget per episode, as budgets for Comedy were significantly lower.
    • Quotes

      Jennifer: With me on the couch today is our financial specialist Dawn French. Hello Dawn!

      Dawn: Hello!

      Jennifer: Now Dawn is here today to talk to us about what's going on in the market today. Dawn, tell us a little bit about what we might find in the market today.

      Dawn: Well, in the market today you'll find apples, bananas, all types of fresh produce and things of that nature. Of course if we're talking about a farmer's type market you'll find all sorts of knick-knacks including those little plastic flowers that dance when you talk to them. of course they're not the Japanese ones, they're the imitation English ones.

      Jennifer: Right. Actually I was talking about the financial market.

      Dawn: Oh, the financial market! Well in the financial market right now people are very concerned about... money.
