A newspaper article on contestant Kay Gordon was published in the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times (29th November 2001).
Revealing the outcome of the episode as it was published after broadcast, the article stated that it had been filmed on 1st June 2001 and, while it was scheduled for broadcast on 12th September 2001, it was postponed due to news reports about the attack on the World Trade Centre.
Kay was quoted as saying: "The filming was a wonderful experience and Bob Monkhouse was a wonderful host."

The extended chats Bob has with the contestants during his last two series may not appeal to all viewers, who would possibly prefer the quiz to take precedence.
This particular edition sees Bob's chats go on for so long that it's just past the ten minute mark in the episode where Bob starts introducing the quiz element.

Bob describes contestant Kay Gordon as being from "Clitheroe", whereas newspapers reported her as coming from the small village of Whalley.
However, this would appear to be not so much a mistake as more intentional "short hand" for the general area Kay lives. A larger town with a higher population, Clitheroe would be more familiar to viewers, as well as acting as the "post town" for Whalley. The distance between the two places is less than four miles.
