Many of the early episodes of the third season had to be shot out of sequence to accommodate the fact that Kate Isitt had just had a baby, and so wasn't always available.

Most of the stars were the first people to read for their respective roles.

Though some scenes are shot away from the studio audience (the nude scenes for example and exteriors) no "canned laughter" is used. The scenes are played on monitor for the studio audience and their reactions are real.

Sally: A woman with clothes on has negotiating power.

Sally: [singing] I'm Susan the happy trotting elf! I trot and trot and bounce and bounce and smile a lot and that's what counts! I'm Susan the happy trotting smile a lotting elf! I'm polite so just for clarity, when I'm cross I say "Apparently!"

Susan: Well? Which one do you want? The left one or the right one?
