* [[Incest Is Relative]]: In the episode "Theory of Relativity", Martin [[Kissing Cousins|and his cousin Sarah]] (played by Helen "Supergirl" Slater) find themselves attracted to each other but unable to act upon it for most of the episode. When they finally find themselves alone and unable to be interrupted, their mutual passion fizzles out when they notice how much their feet resemble each other's.

* [[Looking for Love In All The Wrong Places]]: Martin Tupper went through woman after woman in a effort to replace his true love, his ex-wife, Lilith. (It should be noted that many fans of the show found Martin and Lilith's [[Last-Minute Hookup|final season reconciliation]] to be the show's [[Shark Jump]] moment.

* [[Magic Plastic Surgery]]: Eddie Charles, is [[The Other Darrin|replaced by a different actor]] partway through the first series. This is explained away by having him get surgery to change his eyelids. So he gets a whole new face and several extra inches of height! However, everybody says that he doesn't look any different. Martin quips "A little younger maybe." Devillishly clever, these eyelid surgeons!

* [[The Missus and The Ex]]: This happened in the episode ''Three Coins in the Dryer''. Martin imagined all kinds of craziness about them viciously fighting each other. It turned out that they were indeed rather awkward and uncomfortable with each other, but perfectly nice to each other. Martin's ex-wife only reacted with a friendly detached amusement that they had so obviously been having sex.

* [[Prima Donna Director]] / [[The Mean Brit]]: Sir Roland Moorecock ([[David Bowie]]) in "The Second Greatest Story Ever Told" -- he's nasty to everyone but is kowtowed to nonetheless. Martin ultimately tries to call him out on his nastiness only to discover that he's more than aware of how much he's resented -- he just ''doesn't care''.
