I'll Fly You For A Quid trivia

I'll Fly You For A Quid was reported to be Ronnie Barker's favourite of the Seven Of One pilots.

Created by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, who also wrote another Seven Of One pilot, I'll Fly You For A Quid was a favourite to be commissioned by the BBC. However, it was decided that their other comedy had more series potential - it would become Porridge.

Ronnie Barker's later series, The Magnificent Evans, was inspired in part by his love for this pilot.
