Barbara trivia
Writer Graham Mark Walker was credited as Graham Walker in Series 1.
Barbara was piloted as the first episode of Central's 1995 Comedy Firsts series; the second episode, Sometime, Never, was the only other to be commissioned.
ITV's constant switching and postponing of Barbara episodes in the schedules eventually lead to the 12-episode Series 3 being split into two chunks; accordingly, the second half is in some places listed as Series 4.
