Real Women Don't Wear Dresses | |
| Dodo / int_c099ca1a | comment |
Real Women Don't Wear Dresses: A few of the girls, like Kayla and Siobhan, wear trousers as part of their uniform instead of the standard pleated skirt.* In Kayla's case, this is likely for religious reasons. Muslim schoolgirls will typically wear trousers or long skirts. | |

Informed Attribute: In "Pickled Onion" when Siobhan invites the class to her Halloween party she doesn't give out her address and just tells them they'll know her house when they see it, but what little is shown of her house doesn't really stand out. | |

| Dodo / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: In "Plopper" Lily attempts to help Joe escape the girls' toilets without being seen, but unfortunately texts him about the plan first, unaware that he has a personalised ringtone recorded in his voice that mentions his name. | |

LGBT Representation in Media: In "Girlfriend" it's heavily implied that Poppy Atkin is in a romantic relationship with her friend Camilla. The same episode also features two unnamed boys who are unambiguously a couple. "Parents Evening" reveals that Frisbo's parents are a lesbian couple. | |

New Friend Envy: Joe takes an instant dislike to Frisbo's new friend Pete Wilson, fearing that Pete is stealing his best friend. By the end of the episode he gets over it and they're all friends. At the end of "Disco" Frisbo looks heartbroken as he sees Joe knee sliding with Lily instead of him. | |

Writing Around Trademarks: In "Boyfriend", among the images of famous historical couples in Joe's presentation Ross and Rachel are depicted as crudely drawn stick figures, rather than using the likenesses of their actors. | |

At the end of the episode he's finally able to go in the boys' room after blocking out the sound with headphones, blindfolding himself with his tie and spraying some air freshener around. | |

Shot-for-Shot Remake: "Girlfriend" is a longer version of the short film. The scene of Joe imagining his heart breaking when Hot Molly's friend flicks his chest after telling him he's dumped is reused in "Cosmic Frisbo", but with Lily instead. The scene of Lily playing Hungry Hungry Hippos with her friends and getting mad when she loses is reused in "Breaking Up", only with a knockoff version of the game and Lily as a sore winner instead. The flashback of Lily looking dreamily at Joe before sheepishly looking at the ceiling when he turns toward her is reused in "Disco". | |
