This was the last episode to include the character of Nora Batty, played by Kathy Staff, who appeared in the very first episode of the series, and many other episodes in between. She died on 13 December 2008 at the Willow Wood Hospice in Ashton-under-Lyne, at the age of 80, with her husband John at her bedside, after a brain tumor was diagnosed earlier in the year.
First episode where Lenny is identified as Barry's cousin.
