When Sandra recalls that Cass Elliot died by choking on a sandwich she is repeating an urban legend. "Mama" Cass actually died of heart failure. Reports immediately after her death (before the autopsy) apparently quoted her doctor as saying she probably died by choking on a sandwich. Despite the results of the autopsy, the sandwich story has stuck.
Sandra says that there are plenty of places that gay people can go without having to worry, that there is even an island in the Mediterranean Sea called Isle of Lesbia, which is inhabited by only lesbian women. In reality, there is a Mediterranean island named Isle of Lesbos, part of Greece, which is inhabited by men, women, and children, all known by the diminutive, Lesbians.
Linda Henry's character Sandra ends up owning a pub and working as a barmaid in a pub. Shirley Carter, her character in EastEnders, also owns a pub and works as a barmaid.
Lead actors Scott Neal (Ste) and Glen Berry (Jamie) both appeared on the popular police TV series "The Bill" although not together. In the series Scott Neal's character, Luke Ashton, is also gay. Luke's gay kiss was the first gay kiss ever for the TV series.
"Jamie: You know who Claude Monet is? Sandra: Jamie, don't make me out to be thick. Jamie: Who was he then? Sandra: He painted the Sixteenth Chapel."
"Leah: Don't suppose you've got any jobs in your new pub? Sandra: No. But if I ever do turn it into a brothel I'll get back to you, ok?"
