The first main grid - "Carry On Irregulars" - had been featured in similar grids in Episode #1.15 (1994) and Episode #5.34 (1998).
With the grid subject based around actors in "Carry On" movies, this one focusses more heavily on guest stars who didn't appear often - the "irregulars" of the title.
Answers that appeared across all three grids were Benny Hill, Bob Hope and Phil Silvers, while Episode #1.15 (1994) and this edition also both featured Roy Castle among their options.

Bob mentions "Miss Marple" when referring to actress Joan Hickson. As Hickson appeared in various different series and TV movies as the character, and none are specified, this isn't included under Movie Connections.
A discussion on Noddy sees Bob joke that he met "Big Ears" (The then-Prince Charles) at a Royal Variety Performance. As he doesn't specify a particular Royal Variety Performance, this isn't included under Movie Connections.
Bob changes his usual sign-off phrase of "that wipes me out" on this edition. After doing a routine about Hell, he closes off the show with "Just don't let it wipe you out!".
