The episodes in this series were originally shown on BBC One on Thursday evenings, 21:30 – 22:00. This series (and all forthcoming episodes) were written by Richard curtis and Ben elton. The episode titles are single word references to the theme of the episode: a wedding, executions, voyages of exploration, dept, drinking and imprisonment, respectively.

It is likely that "Head" was originally intended to be the first episode, which can be proved by Lord Percy having a beard in "Head" which he shaves off in "Bells". Also, early scenes in "Head" introduce the audience to the characters, such as the opening scene that shows Baldrick is now stupid.
