"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Bad News reached No.44 in the UK Singles Chart. By the time this episode aired, it had already been out for a month and was dropping down the charts.
"Bad News" were really Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmonson, Nigel Planer and Peter Richardson. Although they drop out of character for the end of the show during a chat with Terry, they are credited as Bad News.
