Claudia Bing's assistant is named Squeak, and performs the same role for her as Bubble does for Edina. Their names reference Bubble and Squeak, a British dish made from cooked potatoes and cabbage mixed together and fried.
Paul Reynolds, who played Squeak, co-starred with Julia Sawalha (Saffy) in the teen series Press Gang for 5 seasons.
Edina and Claudia both say "Naomi is being difficult". Two years earlied Campbell had been fired from Elite Model Management because her of abusive behavior. In subsequent years she would be convicted on four of the many charges of assault. Back in those days criminal abuse by the rich and famous was pretty much acceptable.
