It was directed and produced by Harold Snoad, who also directed and produced another well-known, mainstream sitcom, Keeping Up Appearances.

Don't Wait Up used to be repeated on Comedy Central Extra and in 2003 Playback released the first two series on DVD; it is unclear if they intend to bring the rest of the series to DVD.
