    • Trivia
      A spoof sequence sees Lily and her dog Buster enter the Blue Peter garden. Although just a joke sequence with a fake Blue Peter garden, Paul O'Grady revealed that in real life Buster loved the actual thing.

      In his 2015 autobiography "Open the cage, Murphy!", O'Grady recalled: "Buster just loved the old BBC in Wood Lane and was more than capable of sneaking out of the scene dock when I wasn't looking and making his own way to the Blue Peter garden, where he once strolled on to the CBeebies' set as they were filming live and took over. He was obsessive about the Blue Peter garden because he once saw a squirrel there. Twelve years later he headed for the same spot to see if it had made a reappearance, but it hadn't. He grew up in that garden, just as I had really, when I think of the times I sat watching Valerie, John and Peter burying time capsules and dogs and hanging the fat balls that they'd made in the studio for the birds on a branch of a tree that Percy Thrower had planted all those years ago. After they sold Wood Lane, the garden ended up on a roof in Salford, an act akin to sacrilege, but I'm sure Buster's ghost is still chasing squirrels around what's left of the original."
    • Goofs
      Lily rants about Tammy Wynette, but accidentally says "Shammy", before making a joke about it, referring to "Shammy Davis Junior". However, it's possible that this "mistake" was deliberate for humorous purposes.
