My Family/Trivia


 * Actor Allusion:
 * One episode centers around Susan being stuck in a foreign airport because her flight is cancelled, and meeting a mysterious traveler known as "The Doctor", played by John Barrowman.
 * In one episode, Nick gets a Madam Hooch trading card, which is a role of Zoe Wanamaker's.
 * In the 2009 Christmas special, Michael (played by Gabriel Thomson) tells Kenzo how to pronounce the angel Gabriel's name.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!:
 * Nick's actor now portrays a soon-to-be stepfather in BT's broadband service adverts. People that live out of the UK and have the luck to see this series once may recognize Susan as a certain professor in a magical school.
 * Guest stars have included Giles as Ben's cousin Richard, Captain Jack Harkness as a mysterious stranger Susan meets in an airport, and Duckface as a fortune teller Ben visits.
 * Jez appears as an Estonian man on the London Underground.
 * POWER TO THE PEOPLE, CITIZEN HARPER!
 * Missing Episode: Although the BBC haven't officially released a statement about it, it's unlikely that the episode "Mary Christmas" will ever be rebroadcast thanks to guest star Rolf Harris being convicted for child sex offenses in 2014.
 * Money, Dear Boy: Robert Lindsay and Zoe Wanamaker have repeatedly said that they are fed up with the poor quality of the show's writing and that whichever series was being filmed at the time would be their last series, until they finally called it quits after series 11; this trope is almost certainly the reason why.
