Across whole show

Entry For one episode, the props guy spent ages building up the bottom of a frying pan with cotton wool and padding, then painting it black to look right. It was placed on a shelf just inside the kitchen door. Unfortunately, on the night, John Cleese reached around the door frame without looking and picked up the wrong frying pan. He then hit Andrew Sachs very hard over the head with it, almost knocking the poor man out.
Entry There is only one episode in which the anagram on the sign uses all the letters, reading "flowery twats."
Entry The program is based on a hotel in which John Cleese and Connie Booth stayed in Torquay. Noted in the Series 1 dvd notes.

Basil the Rat (a.k.a. Rats) (series 2)

Entry Just before all the meat is dropped, if you watch Polly you can see her slip. She grabs the table and looks round to see if they are still filming. She then carries on.

The Anniversary (series 2)

Entry Sybil's friend, Audrey, who Sybil is frequently seen talking to on the telephone, has only one on-screen appearence in 'The Anniversary'. She is seen at the very end, when Sybil has just walked out on Basil.
