Did You Know?

Talkie Toaster is once again voiced by David Ross, who originally played Kryten in 1988 before voicing the second incarnation of Talkie in 1991's White Hole. Ross, who had retired from acting, recorded his lines at a local radio studio in his native Lancashire.

Daniel Barker's voicing of a vending machine in this episode means that he equals Tony Hawks' record of playing distinct characters in five different episodes.
