Series Fun Facts
- Each episode also has a credit for "the cast" under the writer credits. This is due to some of the dialogue being improvised.
- 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.
- The Newsnight (UK) interviews between Jeremy Paxman and Justin Edwards (as Ben Swain) were created by splicing together archive footage from Paxman on Newsnight with newly filmed shots of Edwards.
