Trivia
This final episode was a compilation special, featuring 25 separate clips from the first 11 episodes. (The clips in question are listed under Movie Connections - the 12th episode wasn't used for any of the special, presumably as it aired just seven days earlier.)

The new segments are "bookends" with Chris Tarrant, at first parodying Kenny Everett, then, after a run of ten episodes where Ellen Thomas has been in situations where viewers are teased that she'll go topless, she finally exposes her chest during the end credits.

There's also a new sequence with Lenny Henry as Joshua Yarlog, and Chris narrates a brief cartoon face that says "Just as you thought it was all over... the horror begins again", before cutting to an old clip of Alexei Sayle, but with the word "Aaaagghh" dubbed over the start.

Crazy credits
The technical crew credits - far more extensive than those in any other edition - would seem to apply to the series as a whole, rather than just this particular episode, particularly as this edition features only scant new material.
