The films "Hamlet" and "Scrooge" appear on a grid about movies featuring ghosts. However, as there is more than one version of both films, and a specific production isn't cited, these aren't included under Movie Connections.
There is also a Wipeout option of "Shadows", which probably refers to Shadows (1958), but as the specific film isn't cited, this again isn't included as a Movie Connection.

Bob is unable to resist some innuendo during an opening grid on old musical instruments. Although "Citole" is passed without comment, when "Tucket" is chosen, Bob remarks that the contestant may say something similar if it wipes out all of their money.
By the time of series six, Bob's habit of saying whether an answer is right or wrong before the board does (and arguably eliminating any suspense as a result) is a regular fixture. However, this is a rare episode from the period in that the majority of the grids are played without Bob giving away whether answers are correct or not.
