* [[No Smoking]]: From 2007 smoking is enclosed public places and workplaces.The first episode of the series started with everyone partying outside The Jockey (with their own beer) until they decided to flout the ban.

** A good proportion of the shows adults are seen smoking. [[Truth in Television]], as smoking is still very common in urban communities, despite the efforts of governments across the world to outlaw it.

* [[Not Quite Dead]]: Frank's Father Neville has one of these moments, surviving a heart attack that had been previously implied to be fatal.

* [[Oop North]]: The series is set in Manchester.

* [[Oops, I Forgot I Was Married]]: Kev proposes to Veronica while drunk. It takes a while for him to confess to her that he never divorced his first wife, Roxy, who was a violent alcoholic who is in prison for GBH but still very much in love with him. Veronica is actually fine with this and they have a fake wedding just so they don't disappoint Veronica's mother and more importantly get wedding gifts, particularly Veronica's dad's money which would help them pay off most of their house in a right-to-buy scheme.

Line 101:

* [[Sticky Fingers]]: Most of the characters shoplift whenever they get a chance - at one point Frank steals (among other things) a charity collection tin. Or when the barstaff get trapped in the cellar by a broken door by the time they get out the stools and tables are gone.

* [[Take That (band)|Take That]]: Never Forget played at Karen and Jamie's wedding.

* [[Talking to Himself]]: In one episode of Series 5, Sean Gilder played not only Paddy but also his estranged gay twin brother Noel, the characters often conversing in the same scene.

* [[Fille Fatale]]: Karen and Mandy. Holly Hickemer thinks she's this but she's still too young to actually be sexual.

* [[Generation Xerox]]: Fiona and Lip are beginning to show similarities to their dear old dad, particuarly some shades of selfishness. Fiona {{spoiler|slept with a married man even though she knew she would regret it}}. Lip is especially showing signs with {{spoiler|attempting to break Karen and Jodie up by sending Mandy to their house so Mandy would sleep with Jodie}}. This trope is even lampshaded in "A Beautiful Mess."
