Bill Oddie only briefly alludes to this series in his autobiography. In 2008's "One Flew into the Cuckoo's Egg", he talks about co-writing with his wife, acknowledging that "We co-wrote eighteen (three series of six) half-hour TV comedy dramas for a 'younger audience'."
Although the first twelve of those episodes - two series of From the Top (1985) - are discussed in detail, no further reference is made to The Bubblegum Brigade.

A spin-off from a Dramarama episode of the same name, The Bubblegum Brigade (1988), which didn't make the UK Top 100 chart, the series suffered the same fate, with all six episodes failing to make the chart.
