Toto Coelo's song "Just For You" was the B-side of their single "Gimme Some Lovin'". Although the group had a Top Ten UK hit in 1982 with "I Eat Cannibals" (and a lesser, Top 60 hit the same year with "Dracula's Tango") this single failed to chart in the UK Top 100.
In the Indian restaurant sketch, Eddie jokes that the waiter has mistaken Syd for Gandhi. Syd had previously been encouraged by Eddie to dress as Gandhi in Episode #4.0 (1983).

The sixth series of the programme retained an instrumental version of the theme, though had a new logo and title sequence, with a collection of black-and-white photographs appearing on screen.
