Trivia

 * This episode was filmed last, as it was the most technically demanding.
 * The sections upside down were filmed in 90-second bursts, because any longer would be dangerous.
 * The cast all had to take blood pressure tests to make sure they would be able to film the upside down sections.
 * The objects on the table and Larry's tie were kept on by a magnet system.
 * The part where Neighbour Joe falls past the window was pre-recorded, as they had to set up a safe fall on the other side, where the living room set normally was.
 * Most of the scenes shot the wrong way up were pre-recorded, as they were so technically demanding.
 * This is Dennis' second time playing a human. The first is Carl McKinnon in A Trial to Watch.
 * Charlie Russell's (Sandra) American accent is inspired by Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs.
 * This is the second mention of the unseen canteen. The first is in Harper's Locket when Robert says: "You're not supposed to take [milk sachets] from the canteen!"
 * The glasses were added to Mr Pines's costume to protect his eyes after a runthrough where the falling sugar and water went into his eyes, and it formed a paste.
 * The scene where Melinda throws the beers up to Renee was cut in the middle, as it took her so long to catch them.
 * A scene had to be re-shot, meaning Jonathan Sayer (Dennis) had to change his trousers then the gazpacho had to be painted on for continuity purposes.
 * Originally Max and Robert were playing each other's parts but they were swapped.
