| Trivia | The usual casting process for a sketch was that the lead role would be given to the member who came up with the idea. Sir Michael Palin has said that if he'd known the abuse he would have to tolerate as the "It's..." man, he never would have suggested the idea. See more » |

| Crazy Credits | Episode 41 Michael Ellis (1974) begins with the opening theme song, followed by a screen that says "THE END," followed by the end credits, and then the show begins. This was to allow the unusual ending of that particular episode which would have been ruined by the closing credits. See more » |
