Trivia:

The lock where the "Fish-Slapping Dance" was filmed had a much higher water level prior to filming. When it came time to actually film the sketch, the water level had lowered about five feet, meaning that Michael Palin really had to take a dive.

Goofs:

Miscellaneous: At the end of the program, when the landlady (Michael Palin) is kicking out various BBC programs from the "flat", she slams the door on one man (Terry Jones) who pops his head out to make a comment. When the door slams, the upper part of the wall shakes.
