    • Quotes

      Mr. Ken Verybigliar: You don't mind living in a figment of another man's imagination?

      Tenant: Oh, it's much better than where we used to live.

      Mr. Ken Verybigliar: Where did you used to live?

      Tenant: We had a 19-room villa overlooking Nice.

      Mr. Ken Verybigliar: Really? That sounds much better.

      Tenant: Oh yeah. You're right.

      [the building starts to collapse and the hypnotist rushes over to restore the spell]

      Tenant: Oh, no, no, no, of course not.

      [collapse reverses and the building rights itself]

    • Crazy credits
      The final sketch of this episode features Eric Idle's character of Mr. Badger reading the end credits to the audience (for "the sum of 40p"). As such, there are no traditional caption roller end credits for this episode. He reads the credits as normally given, except without the series title, and listing the usual six python performers as simply performed by "the usual crowd."
