- TriviaThe second episode of the first series was the show's original pilot; then the producers made some changes which is reflected in the rest of the run. Differences include the lighting and Mark Heap playing Jim as a more (quasi)masculine, less strange character.
- GoofsTamsin Greig wears a wig to play the role of Jackie. However, the wig she is wearing in the opening credits is noticeably longer and wavier than the one seen in most episodes. The exception is episode two of the first series, which was originally the pilot, suggesting the credits were filmed alongside it.

Featured review
Came across this comedy totally by accident, and what a great find it has proved to be. The family dynamic is so reminiscent of most families I know, but this family takes it to a totally new level. The father is by far the star of the show, only for his total ignorance of what the mother is trying to achieve each weekend. With hilarious consequences. The crazy neighbour Jim and his terrifying, yet obviously timid dog, are beyond comedic value. The hand over mouth, and laugh out loud moments Jim is involved with seriously does make him a main character in this show. All in all, this comedy makes you think you've seen all a family get together can produce. Then Friday Night Dinner happens. It is a beautiful show. Well written, well directed, well acted, and well received.
