Actress Judi Dench, who is portrayed as a shoplifter and troublemaker by Tracey Ullman in the show, when accepting The Critics' Circle Theatre Award in February 2016, accepted the award by saying, "My name is Tracey Ullman."
Both of Tracey Ullman's real-life children, Mabel McKeown and Johnny McKeown appear in the show. The pair made appearances in her previous shows: Tracey Takes On... (1996) and Johnny McKeown-only in State of the Union (2008).
A sketch in which Tracey Ullman impersonates Cilla Black was shelved before cameras began rolling in light of the star's untimely death in May 2015.
This is the third show to feature character Kay Clark, making her the longest character Tracey Ullman has ever performed on television.
Ullman's first project for the BBC in 32 years; her first project for British television since Tracey Ullman: A Class Act (1993)
