Across whole show
To avoid conflict, and to save time, the league write the show in pairs. Mark writes with Jeremy (the unseen one), and Steve with Reese.
The league were invited to open a new section of the real-life butchers that they use in the show.
Hadfield, the place the streets of Royston Vasey are filmed at, has many league related shops. These include the butchers (used in the show), which sell "Special sausages" ala the show, and The Cafe Royston, which has many themed foods, including Tubbs Teacakes.
In an episode of series 1, Dr. Chinnery blows up a tortoise with pressurised air. The owner of the tortoise features again in the Christmas special of the show during the "Tale of Karrit Poor" as the owner of the rabbit Dr. Edmund Chinnery saved before he befell his unfortunate curse.
The place where the programme is set 'Roysten Vasey' Is actually the real name of comedian Roy Chubby Brown, who appears in several shows as the mayor .
Royston Vasey and the Monster from Hell (series 2)
The guitar player of Creme Brulee is in fact the fourth, unseen gentleman, Jeremy Dyson.
How The Elephant Got Its Trunk (series 3)
In the last episode of Series 3, the league wanted the animals to look nothing like animals and be obviously people inside animal suits. When making the series, they were 'forced' to use animals with people added with computer, and so the whole point was missed.
When walking as Kenny Harris, Mark had to walk on his knees while being dragged along on a piece of carpet.
Beauty and the Beast (Or, Come into My Parlour) (series 3)
While filming exterior scenes at "Spit and Polish" for this episode, the league had trouble with some members of the public. A car kept driving past them until they said "Action", and then it revved its engine so they had to start filming again.
The Lesbian and the Monkey (series 3)
Along with a few lines from previous episodes, the Doctor in this episode is based upon a doctor from a documentary about someone having a sex change that the league find hilarious.
It is never mentioned what the 'Excocet' is in the first episode of series 3. It is actually a 12" dildo. In a deleted scene Eunice Evans is shown returning it to Pauline.
At the beginning of almost every episode of the 1st and 2nd series, there was some kind of sign pinned on a lamppost/notice board/on the floor e.g. "Missing: finger". In the first episode of series 3, the church notice board has a sign that reads "Missing: Have you seen our vicar?" or something to that effect. This is in reference to the vicar, Bernice, who was 'stolen' by Papa Lazarou at the end of the Christmas special and who later returns in this series.
