Trivia
Kristian Lavercombe's first Rocky Horror Show experience was at New Zealand's Nelson Musical Theatre in 1998, playing Dr. Frank-N-Furter, and he later took over the role of Riff Raff for tours in Asia and Australia. At the time of this taping, Lavercombe had portrayed Riff Raff in over 900 performances, and by the end of the UK tour in 2017, he will have played the character more times than any other actor in history.

For the one-time European live theatrical screening, Mel Giedroyc hosted and mingled with the crowd before the show, Adrian Edmondson interviewed Richard O'Brien, Ana Matronic filmed a plug for Amnesty International, and Giedroyc interviewed Emma Bunton during intermission. All of this footage was omitted from the broadcast on BBC America, except for the interview with Bunton.
