A condensed 5 minute version of this episode was made available to download in .mp4 format for seven days after broadcast, as part of a BBC trial of video podcasts or "vodcasts". It was later uploaded to the BBC's YouTube channel. Both of these were cropped into 4:3 aspect ratio.

For unknown reasons the closing credits for this episode used a different font - "Futura Book" - instead of the normal Confidential font - "Futura Condensed Bold". This font happened to be the same font used for the closing credits of main show at the time.
