Throughout the series, a brand of lager called "Fusilier" pops up in various places including The Clansman and Navid's convenience store. This is a reference to Chewin' the Fat which ran a series of 'fake' commercials for the fictional beer under the tagline 'It's never too early for a Fusilier'.
All of the cigarette packets behind Navid's counter in the convenience store were empty, and most of the liquor bottles were filled with colored fruit juices. The foodstuffs in the set however were real although some of it was past the expiration date.
