This edition was the second to be recorded by Bob Monkhouse. As with his first, Episode #5.38 (1998), his habit of discussing whether answers are right or wrong before the computer reveals them has still yet to fully emerge. In fact, this edition sees him tell a contestant "Yes, I'm sure you're right", before revealing a Wipeout.
Two characters with multiple titles are included on a final grid about fictional bears: Sooty and Pongo.
Pongo (a fake answer, or "Wipeout") had appeared in One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961), but also 101 Dalmatians (1996), while Sooty had appeared in several different series since the 1950s. As neither character is described as being from a specific production, these are not included under Movie Connections.

Bob describes Gentle Ben (1967) as a "feature film" with Dennis Weaver.
While it was a TV series, it did emerge from a film with Weaver: Gentle Giant (1967).
