Ending
- The series' script book revealed that the episode originally had a somewhat different ending, in which Dick Byrne tries to make up with Ted, and offers to shake his hand - which of course Ted can't do, as his hands are fake. He eventually tries to shake hands, only for Dick to accidentally pull one of the hands off, revealing the whole ruse. Cyril then asks Dick if they still have to pay Ted's goalkeeper "all that money" even though they still lost. Disgusted, the referee then forces Ted and Dick to undergo each other's forfeit; Ted forces Dick to kiss Cyril, which proves to be rather anticlimactic. Dick then reveals his forfeit: Ted must kick Bishop Brennan up the arse.
