A bizarre running gag has Oscar mention Raymond Van Keer, a missionary in Chile, presumably a Belgian. Raymond Van Keer is also a man Pico is replaced with (Dirk Tuypens). The missionary is fictional, his namesake coincidental for comedic effect. Oscar is not referring to a real person. Younger audiences nowadays may not understand he is not real.
Based on the attire of the characters, a photo of the characters posing in the cafe does appear on the cover of the season 1 DVD. The photo was clearly taken when taping "Transfer".
This is the first title written by René Swartenbroekx, father of An Swartenbroekx (Bieke Crucke). Swartenbroekx went on to write a total of 32 titles. Daughter An has written 10 of the show's titles.
In a controversial 2004 report on the previously dismissed actor Walter Michiels (Pico) made public by Flemish commercial broadcaster VTM, this title can be seen on Michiels's own TV. He had fallen from grace but, as he's interviewed, can be seen re-watching "Transfer" in his apartment.
The extras are heavily involved. For this title, the extras to 'star' are Marcel and Pol, two players drafted on the soccer team. It is the only time an extra is seen delivering a punch line. Pol, in particular, who shares his name with the future character Pol De Tremmerie. Pol adds to Marcel's "Get Xavier's ball, Bieke" ("Neem Xavier z'n bal af, Bieke"), saying "Just one, okay" ("Eentje maar, hé").
