    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The inspiration for casting Joanna Lumley as Patsy came from a sketch on The Full Wax (1991). There, Ruby Wax interviewed Lumley, where the actress (who had previously been seen as a prim and proper English rose) played herself as a drunk, cocaine-addicted, washed-up has-been.
    • Quotes
      • Eddie: Patsy hasn't eaten since 1974.
      • Patsy: There was that crisp.
    • Crazy credits
      At the end of series four's credits, a clip of David Bowie singing "Ziggy Stardust" has been inserted.
    • Alternate versions
      Scenes from the episodes "Door Handle" and "The End" that were omitted and featured in an outtake special:
    • Connections
      Edited into Auntie's Bloomers: Auntie's New Bloomers 1 (1994)
