In German Episode one, the announcer at the beginning was the then chief female announcer/presenter of the WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfunk) TV network (her name is Claudia Doren).

There are several references to Albrecht Dürer (A personal favorite artist of mine). In every case, the year of his death is wrong. The program gives it as 1530. He actually died in 1528.

Thomas Woitkewitch (who produced episode #2) translated the Lumberjack Song into German (the song is sung by Michael Palin, in German, in episode one. To this day he says he could still recite it. It was released on a CD single in Europe in the early 90s, and appears in the Monty Python Song Book). It is the ONLY appearance of any previously written material in either of the two German episodes.
