Tall contestant Glenn Malkin jokingly describes himself as "five foot nineteen" when Bob asks for his height. If accurate, it would mean his height is really 6'7.
This was the second episode in a week to feature a grid about "Carry On" movies, with Episode #5.32 (1998) featuring a grid with film titles.
However, this was more due to scheduling rather than design: the earlier episode was actually the 36th of the fifth series to be recorded, whereas this edition was the 21st.

Not only was the Auction Grid on Carry On movies the second to be broadcast that week, the actual grid itself had appeared before in Episode #1.15 (1994).
However in the earlier instance it was a 16 answer main grid, not a 12 answer Auction grid, so contained five more possible answers: Sidney James (as Sid James), Jim Dale, Roy Castle, Stephen Fry and John Mills. Additionally, this grid contains one answer that the earlier instance didn't feature: Ben Elton.
The repeated source is even clearer when Bob makes some minor factual errors regarding the films - the same errors also read out by Paul Daniels in the earlier edition.
A similar grid would later appear in Episode #6.33 (1999).

The grid subjects featured on this edition are:
Main Grids: First name meanings; Characters from "Animal Farm".
Auction Grids: Performers from "Carry On" films; Olympic gold medal winners; Types of alcoholic beer.
