Adrian Edmondson said about Terry Jones's appearance in this episode: "Terry Jones was the only Python who agreed to appear in The Young Ones. It was like affirmation from God himself."
The first episode, which doesn't use the regular title sequence. Instead, the title sequence for this particular episode and its theme, was done in the style of a horror movie.
A sequence was filmed, but censored because the BBC deemed it "too naughty" which as Rick (Rik Mayall) is about to enter his bedroom unaware Vivian has rigged his bed with a buzzsaw, two teddy bears on top of Rick's bed are seen having sex.
Both Rik Mayall and Terry Jones have played the character of Mr Toad in The Wind In The Willows. Mayall provided the voice of Mr Toad in the 1995 animated version and Jones played Mr Toad in his 1996 live action adaptation.
In 2022 a BluRay commentary track was released to accompany this episode, featuring reminisces from Nigel Planer, Lise Mayer and Alexei Sayle.
