Trivia
On this show, an American detective is sent to Scotland Yard; a similar premise played out in Cher Inspecteur (1980) in which a Scotland Yard detective was sent to America.

Quotes
Fiona: Get out.
Eddie: Out of the kitchen?
Fiona: Out of the kitchen, out of the flat, out of London, out of the world. It's full. Get out.
Eddie: I can't get out of the world. I didn't pull the kind of math grades you need to qualify for the space program.

Alternate versions
The R1 DVD replaced the score by Orbital and most of the licensed music that was used in the show on its broadcast run with a different composer's music. One of the few exceptions was the episode "Citizen Cecil," which still retained the Duran Duran songs used in its broadcast run, mainly because they were so integral to the plot.

Keen Eddie Rocks.

I agree that Keen Eddie was amazing. The sophistication, Eddie's ability or lack to coalesce with this coworkers. He just keeps irritating people in a most amiable way. His relationship with Fiona was too funny. The hate/hate/love/hate relationship between then along with the occasional sexual tension and never to be realized unrequited love aspect was quite amusing.

FOX has to cancel anything that they don't have the hutzpah to promote. Keen Eddie would have been a blockbuster on nearly any other network. Though I must admit, I felt like I was the only one watching at times. Keen Eddie was full of so many things that I enjoy watching in the American blockhead on the English soil.
