Connections and Errors

- This episode's original audio LP release was under the title "Mrs. Richards". In later re-releases, it was changed back to "Communication Problems".
- The following line was originally cut in rehearsal: Basil picks some morsel off the floor after Mrs. Richards hits her head in the office, and asks, "Is this a piece of your brain?" After seeing it had been cut, Andrew Sachs convinced John Cleese it was a funny moment and talked Cleese into putting it back in the script.
- Joan Sanderson and John Cleese would later co-star again as a married, aristocratic couple in The Great Muppet Caper.
- Joan Sanderson and Prunella Scales would later co-star as mother and daughter in in the radio then TV comedy series After Henry by Simon Brett.

Famous quotes containing the words connections and/or errors:
“Growing up human is uniquely a matter of social relations rather than biology. What we learn from connections within the family takes the place of instincts that program the behavior of animals; which raises the question, how good are these connections?”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“Their errors have been weighed and found to have been dust in the balance; if their sins were as scarlet, they are now white as snow: they have been washed in the blood of the mediator and the redeemer, Time.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
