Robert Lindsay and Zoë Wanamaker criticized the quality of the writing in the show's later seasons. Wanamaker revealed that they both refused to film one script because it was so bad.
Kris Marshall (Nick) wanted to be killed off the series, but the writers decided it would be better for him to have moved away.
Kris Marshall, who played Nick Harper for five years, was seven years older than the character he played. He found it hard to play the character because of the age difference. Fifteen-year-old Janey was played by twenty-one-year-old Daniela Denby-Ashe.
This show was taped in front of a studio audience.
Between the first and second seasons, the house design and layout changed massively.
