- Gorden Kaye with an E is attributed to a spelling mistake in a hospital. According to his autobiography 'Rene and Me', he looked at the information index at the end of his bed, and it read 'Gorden' with an E.
- On "'Allo 'Allo!" (1982), his character René always called Edith (Carmen Silvera) "you stupid woman" but in real-life, the actors were best friends.
- He interviewed The Beatles for Huddersfield local radio, in February 1963 the day they performed in the town.
- He has a dent in his forehead that was caused when a plank of wood went through his car window during an exceptionally severe gale in January 1990. He recovered after the accident, but he still cannot remember anything about it.
