Facts[]
- In 1948 a drive-through fly-through cinema opened in New Jersey, where you could watch movies from the seat of your car or the seat of your small aircraft. (Harkin)
- The Beatles once rejected a £50m reunion gig because the warm-up act was going to be a man wrestling a great white shark. (Schreiber)
- In 1919 it was ruled that women would be allowed to swim competitively without wearing stockings on the one condition that they quickly put on a robe as soon as they got out of the water. (Ptaszynski)
- The filming of Doctor Dolittle was delayed for days after the giraffe being used accidentally stepped on its own penis. (Murray)
Trivia[]
- This is the twenty-first Working From Home episode due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
- This episode was announced in Episode 328: No Such Thing As A Romantic Lollipop. It was going to take place at a drive-in cinema, but the venue had to cancel due to COVID restrictions, so the Fish team used the same facts in a Working From Home episode.
- Schreiber's headline facts in Episode 37 and Episode 308 were both chosen because of his love of The Beatles. Harkin's headline fact in Episode 180 was chosen to annoy him.
- Murray reports a doubtful fact about a man being blasted 170 feet into the air. This resembles Ptaszynski's fact about a man being blasted through a riverbed by compressed air from Episode 160.
- Murray describes a man who performed an incredible regurgitation act. Sword-swallowing and similar talents were discussed in TBA and Episode 318: No Such Thing As 'Of Quails and Men'.
- Harkin has not seen Doctor Dolittle.
