Several of the sketches in this episode were originally written for earlier episodes. For example, "Vocational guidance counsellor" was to have been in How to Recognise Different Types of Trees from Quite a Long Way Away (1969); "Lingerie shop bank robber" was to have been in Whither Canada? (1969); and the "Ron Obvious" sketch had been intended for Man's Crisis of Identity in the Latter Half of the 20th Century (1969).
