Trivia
The running gag with Three Musketeers actor William Franklyn is that he doesn't want his then-current "Schhh... You Know Who" adverts for Schweppes Tonics (1965-73) to be mentioned.

Goofs
The filming crew are reflected in the windows of Eric's car in the closing economy petrol sketch.

Quotes
Eric Morecambe: [greeting Nina, just after she has sung her first song] While you're here, will you do me a big favour? Will you sing a song for us?
Nina van Pallandt: I don't understand.
Eric Morecambe: You can sing that one if you wish... We ought to have a good song, because Cilla Black has just had Frank Sinatra on her show.
Ernie Wise: Oh, that's true, yeah. Yes, that's true, Frank Sinatra.
Nina van Pallandt: He's a wonderful artist.
Eric Morecambe: A wonderful artist.
Ernie Wise: Isn't he a wonderful artist! He's the one who sings, "I Did It My Way".
Eric Morecambe: That probably accounts for the limp.
