Entry I have seen online that lots of people are saying that the theme song is supposed to have a sequence where the plane lands and that Will runs from someone that looks like a cop, yet I have seen the extended opening and this is not in it. Is that sequence a lie of is it part of the song, but not of the opening credits? [It is part of the song and not the opening credits.] Answered by Dedderbot
Entry Is it ever established what Geoffrey's surname is? [At wikipedia.org Geoffrey's full name is listed as Geoffrey Barbara Butler.] Answered by Sange Paungam
Entry Does anyone know why Janet Hubert-Witten was replaced? I've heard rumours that she didn't get along with the rest of the cast, is this true? [She became pregnant in real life, which would have messed up the story line. They would have had to add a fifth kid.]
Entry In the episode where Will works as a waiter and dresses up as a pirate, another waiter tells Uncle Phil that the parrot he (Uncle Phil) is wearing is on his left shoulder. What does he mean? [It has to do with the fact that when males get one ear pierced, the left means they are straight and the right supposedly means they are gay.] Answered by Piemanmoo

Mistaken Identity (series 1)

Entry Carlton and Will are in the holding cell at the police station, singing a song about Moses letting his people go, when all of a sudden their burly cellmate starts singing the rest of the song in a very operatic manner. There is only one lyric I could pick up: "Tell the Pharaoh/Let my people GO.", but unfortunately the rest of the lyrics (or its title) are nowhere to be found on the Internet. What is the name of this song, and where could I possibly find the words to it? [This is very old and well-known African-American spiritual of unknown provenance. Louis Armstrong did a famous version "Go Down Moses". There is not an "offical" name but it is usually referenced as "Let my People Go" or from the first line "When Israel was in Egypt's land". If you search the web with either of these phrases and the word "lyrics" you will have hundreds of sites showing the full lyrics.] Answered by Luna Negra
