    • Trivia
      The original broadcasts of this episode featured a four and a half minute skit where Dawn and Jennifer sit in the kitchen discussing the virtues of Princess Diana against the non-virtues of Sarah Ferguson. After the death of Princess Diana in 1997, this sketch was cut out of future repeats, and also the 2008 UK DVD release of the complete series 1 to 6. This segment is currently only available on the out of print 1994 VHS release of the 'Best of Series 4'.

      Dawn: [discussing Princess Diana] Do you know, retarded people lick her face!

      Jennifer: I know.

      Dawn: And she doesn't mind at all. I mean at the drop of a hat she'll touch a drug addict, she'll touch a homeless person... she'll touch Wayne Sleep, she doesn't mind.
