Arrested celebrities

Trivia

• This episode takes place in the year 2010, 15 years from 1995, when the episode aired. Unsurprisingly, however, mid to late Season 21 episodes have been set in 2010 like its broadcasting year (2009–2010) and so would early Season 22 episodes (2010–2011).
• The Clock Tower at the Palace of Westminster is now a digital display, but is not reliable like the old analogue clock was. Whether Big Ben and other bells are still inside is not known.
• Marge says that in England a mile is called a kilometer. However, England still uses miles as opposed to kilometers, just like the US.
• The painting of Uncle Eldred appears in the background for one of the DVD menus of the Season 14 boxset.
• It only seems like Martin's voice has changed in the future.

Continuity

• Maude Flanders appears in the wedding with Ned and others waiting. However, she died in presumably 15 years ago in the episode, "Alone Again, Natura-Diddily" (Although the Season 11 episode's broadcast was set roughly 10 years before this episode)
• In addition, Edna appears at the wedding. Edna died in "The Man Who Grew Too Much", or just before it, due to the death of Marcia Wallace.

Goofs

• Lisa is bare foot while sitting on the ground, but when she kisses Hugh, she is wearing her shoes.
