Unusually for a British situation-comedy at that time it was recorded entirely on location on 16mm film and consequently there was no laughter track.

The show ended when ATV lost their licence to broadcast and their replacement Central declined to continue production of the series. The series was broadcast in a number of countries around Europe.
