Series Fun Facts
- The show employs Ian Martin (V) as a "swearing consultant"; one of his roles is to pen the complex and creative insults used in the show.
- One of the main characters is called Glen Cullen. Glencullen is the name of two places in Ireland (a village in County Dublin and a townland in County Mayo).
- Each episode also has a credit for "the cast" under the writer credits. This is due to some of the dialogue being improvised.
