    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In the DVD boxset commentaries, Derlva Kirwan revealed her agent encouraged her to leave the show to avoid being typecast as a "cheery Cockney". She stated that she later regretted the decision, adding that the same agent had encouraged her to leave Ballykissangel (1996) to avoid being typecast as a "stroppy Irishwoman... which happened anyway". Kirwan confirmed she would be interested in reprising the role of Phoebe in any revival, but felt that the role now belonged to Elizabeth Carling. When the show was revived for a one-off special in 2016, it was with Carling in the role.
    • Goofs
      The photo portrait of King George VI, by Yousuf Karsh and hanging on the back wall of The Royal Oak, wasn't taken until 1943, but appears from Series 1 Ep 1 which is based in 1940.

      The same photo can been seen hanging on the wall of the MI5 office of Tufty McDuff, in S05 E06 and E07, where, in 1944, it can be considered OK.
