The final episode of Little and Large was watched by 6.4 million, ranking 50th in the UK TV charts.
"Long Train Running" by Bananarama reached No.30 in the UK charts.
An unusual inclusion into the episode is a four-and-a-half minute location cutaway featuring Preston club comedian Wandering Walter, who Eddie claims is a friend of his. The skit is essentially an excuse to showcase some of Walter's act, but, set on a small area of a canal barge, was presumably shot in three separate instances to give the reactions of all three principals involved. As a result, the atmosphere is a little stilted as all three pretend to be having a naturally flowing conversation that is clearly cut together in the edit suite.
