- Funny Aneurysm Moment - In 'The Emigrant' Tony attempts to emigrate to Australia, hoping for stardom down under (but is turned away with "try Canada".) In real life, Tony Hancock emigrated to Australia to try to revive his failing career. Tragically, it didn't work, and he killed himself.
- In the episode "The Bowmans", Hancock alludes to thinking about killing himself.
