Trivia[]
- During the episode's banter section, Alex's back dons an ad with an email reading "FEG.JM.MB.RR.SM@alexhornemedia.com". Sending an e-mail to this address will result in an automated response notifying the writer that work on Series 19 is underway.
- The set of five initials, all ordered alphabetically, may imply names for the cast of Series 19, as it does not match any previous series.
