    • Trivia
      Avon, who the Beauvoir company was based on, were happy for their name to be used in the show but BBC lawyers got a bit nervous according to an interview in the book with episode writer and co-creator, Ashley Pharoah. Hence the cosmetic name change!
    • Goofs
      Carol Twilling puts Santana's 'Samba Pa Ti' (from their album 'Abraxas') on the stereo at the drinks party attended by Tyler and Cartwright.. 'Abraxas' was released by CBS records, but the record Twilling is holding appears to have an Island Records label on it.
