Production
- This final episode was recorded six months after the rest of the series, because of a strike at the BBC. Andrew Sachs has claimed that the BBC strike gave the actors the luxury of committing extra time to the episode before taping it - one key decision made during this extra time was to accentuate Manuel's call of "Basil!" to the rat, thus clarifying a previously obscured plot point.
- In some shots a real rat was used. The real rat's appearances in studio shot scenes were pre-recorded due to fears it could run into the studio audience.
