For British Eyes Only - Episode Notes

Episode Notes

  • This episode begins with a "Previously on Arrested Development" segment, which mostly contains scenes that didn't actually appear in the previous episode, but does not have an "On the next Arrested Development" segment at the end.
  • Maeby does not appear in this episode (aside from a brief clip at the start, though this is just footage from the "Righteous Brothers" episode).
  • The title is a spoof on For Your Eyes Only, a James Bond film, as well as picking up the clerk's line that the records in Wee Britain were for "British eyes only." "For British Eyes Only" is also the name (and the only lyric) of the James Bond parody song that played throughout this episode.
  • This episode begins a run of episodes referencing the James Bond series of films, as continued in "Forget-Me-Now," "Notapusy" and "Mr. F". The spoofing of the Bond films is evident in the episode titles, vocal and instrumental music cues, and the gun barrel shot at the end of the episode accompanied by the subtitle "Michael Bluth will return in..."
  • This episode has also been known as "The British Bombshell," as it was originally titled this in early press releases.
  • The episode features six chicken impressions, by George Sr, Lucille and Lindsay, who all dance together. Gob runs to get his chicken mask and does his dance, but no one sees it. Michael and Tobias also do chicken impressions, though no dance is included.

Famous quotes containing the words episode and/or notes:

    “The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision. Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone. They cannot govern society by episodes, incidents, and eruptions. It is only when they work by a steady light of their own, that the press, when it is turned upon them, reveals a situation intelligible enough for a popular decision.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    “What neat repast shall feast us, light and choice,
    Of Attick tast, with Wine, whence we may rise
    To hear the Lute well toucht, or artfull voice
    Warble immortal Notes and Tuskan Ayre?
    He who of those delights can judge, and spare
    To interpose them oft, is not unwise.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
