Trivia

Savage Garden's performance on this episode was filmed in April 1998, at the same time as “Truly Madly Deeply”. The old TOTP logo from 1995-1998 can be seen during the performance.
Babybird performed a live acoustic version of “If You'll Be Mine”.
For the first time in many years, a song without a music video or artist performance is featured on the show. Instead a dancer is featured on screen with vintage 70s footage of the TOTP audience dancing in the background.
