• Although he was supposed to be 39 years older, Ronnie Barker (Arkwright), was in fact only 11 years older than David Jason (Granville).
• In the pilot episode Granville's age is revealed as 25. However in the actual series he is 19.
• There is a running gag throughout the show where Mrs Featherstone doesn't like to be served by or even to spend much time with Granville, as a woman of her age has nothing in common with a lad of his age. In real life, Stephanie Cole is a year younger than David Jason.
