[edit] Trivia

  • In the Series 1 episode, Jobs for the Girls, the sub-plot about Samantha wanting her ears pierced was included because Joanne Ridley had asked the producers if she could have her ears pierced. A few minutes before the final scene was shot, Ridley had her ears pierced specially by the make-up artists.
