The voice George Dawes uses when he asks Melanie Sykes if she's alright is the voice that Matt Lucas used for Marjorie Dawes in both this show and Little Britain (2003).
In the show George Dawes dresses up as a Teletubbie from the popular children's program Teletubbies (1997). Matt Lucas would later play the green Telecockney Geezer in the "It's the Telecockney!" sketches in Harry Enfield and Chums (1994). The sketch itself mocks the children's program itself.
