Line 23: * [[Covers Always Lie]]: ''My Life In Kenya", Lionel's (dull) book about running a coffee plantation, ends up with a cover featuring him holding a rifle with a beautiful woman hanging onto his leg. * [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Lionel is apt to make sarcastic comments, especially when everything around him (often from the intervention of Jean) is going to completely mad. Example: {{quote\| "Compared to pushing a pea up Vesuvius with my nose, it was a delightful experience"}} ** It's not just Lionel. Something like 90% of the show's humor comes from this. * [[Determined Widow]]: After her husband's death, Jean supports herself by starting a secretarial firm, even though she confesses to Lionel that if they had gotten married, she wouldn't have wanted to go into business. Line 40: * [[Real Song Theme Tune]]: "As Time Goes By", as sung by Joe Fagin. * [[Sassy Secretary]]: Sandy is definitely sassy, often gossiping with Judy about Jean's PL (personal life), and offering sage dating advice to her boss. She gets away with it because of her warm heart and skill at her job. {{quote\| "I'm only facetious on Fridays"}} * [[Scrabble Babble]]: (Series 5, Episode 1) After disagreements over ''furzes'' and an attempt to change ''cottage'' to ''pottage'', Jean places ''flug'' and claims it's Old English. * [[Sexy Secretary]]: When Lionel hires a temp from Jean's second branch to help him revise his book, Jean is furious to learn that they have sent him a gorgeous secretary named Daisy. Although she is temporarily replaced by the distinctly non-sexy and endlessly talkative Gwen Flack, Daisy returns after Mrs. Flack relieves them all by going to live with her cousin in Dorset. Line 46: * [[Show Within a Show]]: Lionel's miniseries "Just Two People" based on his romance with Jean is featured prominently in the show. The miniseries tanks (thanks to some terrible acting and re-writes), but not before we get to see portions of just how awful it is. * [[So Beautiful It's a Curse]]: Lampshaded by Jean in "The Mini-Series". {{quote\| '''Lionel''': She seemed thoroughly nice.~~<br />~~ '''Jean''': Did she flop on the desk and cry "Why is my beauty such a curse?" }} * [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: Harry is played by a different actor in the reunion special.
