Alastair Stewart was back in his original patch here as he cut his teeth at Southern Television before joining ITN.

That map of of the house shown at 1:20 is fascinating. Looks like they drew the yard bigger than it actually was, but were still unable to disguise the fact that the Edward's back yard would be situated on the other side of 73s lounge. On the actual set, the fence between the two yards is right next to the kitchen door, and when we see the Martin's yard at 6:20, the door appears to lead into the back of the stairs in 73's hall.

Roger Ramjet! LOL was so funny!

Today in the living room are bubbling-under reggae group Laurel & Hardy. They perform their new single "Lots of Loving (And She's Gone)", released on CBS Records, and close the episode with "Dangerous Shoes", which would be released by Upright Records after they were dropped by CBS. Both singles failed to chart.

'Clunk Click' on CBS did peak at 65 in the chart though.

Alistair Stewart had just turned 31 here.

He borrowed 80s Chevy Chase's wig here

Dawn and David's Dolphin film is a repeat from episode 2.7, with the end cut off. I'm enjoying the will they won't they plot surrounding Ethel and Fred as well as the Edward's own subplot involving Sunny Toes.
