In one episode, "The Fifth Man", the Cambridge Five spy scandal is mocked when Felchester plays Cambridge in the FA Cup and wins as a result of Cambridge players, including a mysterious fifth man, scoring own goals against their own team.

The original scheduled broadcast dates of the final two episodes of series 2 were postponed due to coinciding with the Hillsborough disaster. The whole of series 2 was released by the BBC as a double-cassette set in 1992.
