With the end of the studio recording, the cast got a standing ovation longer than any David Jason had heard; it just went on and on and on. Nicholas Lyndhurst, Buster Merryfield and all the "fantastic cast" were joined by John Sullivan and they had a group hug on the set, all of them in tears.
Last ever episode to feature Buster Merryfield as Uncle Albert, who died on June 23rd 1999 from a brain tumour.
When Del and Rodney arrive at The Nag's Head towards the end John Sullivan can be seen drinking with friends at a table
Last episode to feature Kenneth McDonald as Mike Fisher. He would die of a heart attack, aged 50, just weeks before he was due to start filming the comeback episodes in August 2000.
The emotional scene in the lift where Del and Rodney discuss Cassandra's miscarriage was shot on a closed set, without a studio audience.
John Sullivan: Writer made just one appearance in the series, in Time on Our Hands (1996), where he can be briefly seen sitting at a table at the beginning of the pub scene.
