Have You Noticed?
OK, here are some observations, which people have sent to me (or I’ve just made myself), that aren’t on the BBC site.
- “Queen”
• This episode has a theme of lookalikes. There are the musician lookalikes, and Tribute Tribute Tom, but remember: the Queen uses a lookalike too! - “Drink”
• Dr Seuss (the scary but gorgeous David Walliams) speaks in rhyme, as was the style in his controversial children’s book, The Cat in the Hat. - “Bookshop”
• Most of these references are drawn from Notting Hill, but as I haven’t seen Notting Hill, I can’t give you any more.
• Tamsin Greig’s fantastic—she was also in Black Books. - “Sixties”
• Nice to see someone taking the piss out of the appalling 11 O’Clock Show.
• Obviously, The Cockneys are aping The Rutles. - “Caine”
•The “Michael Caine, Michael Caine, Michael Caine” scene is a reference to Being John Malcovich, an excellent and original film, which is often referred to in this episode.
• The phrase “My name is Michael Caine” is never said in this episode. Every time someone tries to say it, they are interrupted, or say something else. - “Ladies”

This site was last tampered with on 2007-04-07 with a little DVD news, although nothing's official yet.
