The characters from Phoenix Nights first appeared in the pilot episode of That Peter Kay Thing (2000), however the club in that episode was called the Neptune Club, which burnt down at the end of the episode. When Peter Kay was approached to come up with an idea for a sitcom, he brought the characters back feeling that he could expand them and give them more depth and he also gave them a new club.

Nearly all the scenes throughout both series (including when the bouncers went to France) are filmed in or around Bolton.

The series was filmed in a real club in Bolton.

Brian Potter: There is a horse in my cabaret suite.
