Trivia
The second episode of the first series was the show's original pilot; then the producers made some changes which is reflected in the rest of the run. Differences include the lighting and Mark Heap playing Jim as a more (quasi)masculine, less strange character.

Goofs
Tamsin Greig wears a wig to play the role of Jackie. However, the wig she is wearing in the opening credits is noticeably longer and wavier than the one seen in most episodes. The exception is episode two of the first series, which was originally the pilot, suggesting the credits were filmed alongside it.

Brilliant bit of squirrel

I watched episode one under protest and thought "what a load of crap". Three years later, I am hooked and I have watched the whole lot at least ten times over. Tamsin (Mummy) and Mark (Jim) are my stars but it wouldn't work without the whole ensemble A very low budget TV show with no special effects. Props are limited to a frozen fox and a splitting images Prince Charles mask.

This classic relies on nothing more than brilliant writing and acting.

They both conspire to make my belly ache with laughter.

I die every time that Jim flinches away from Wilson. Genius comedy.

Not to mention Gran accidentally kissing dad on the chest.

More please.
