Isn't that the show in which half the cast ended up having some Hitch Hikers Guide connection later on?

(and, from memory, where the Buzzcocks got their name).

Should I try and justify this post by attempting some B7 connection? Er, how about "Consider Phlebas" by Banks has a ship called 'Clear Air Turbulence', or CAT, which sounds like KAT, a character in Afterlife? No?
