The two series also share several crew and cast, including actors, episode writers/producers/directors, special effects, camera crew, etc.
- In episode 3, when Geoge asks Vera to clear his downstairs room, a box for a vintage Pelham Puppet toy can be seen in shot. The Synths are, of course, the ultimate puppet.
