Episode Notes:

‘Linda Barker in the sofa shop' marks the debut of Jan Ravens doing stunts amongst the public (although she did take part in a ‘Pop Idol' style stunt for series one, but it was never aired.).

The Geoff Hoon doll was made by SF writer, artist and journalist Jim Sangster, who appears in Nev 's BF audio ‘Omega'. His modelwork can also be seen online.

The arse in the Piers Morgan sketch was not one of the cast, but a trained arse performer who specialises in grisly nudework! (You may have seen his body in various stunts on ‘Distraction', hosted by Jimmy Carr.)
