The character of Travis Kent was based on another famous stage, movie and successful TV sitcom character as writers Peter Vincent and Peter Robinson admitted.

Together, the duo had reworked the script of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple for German screening and it was from that movie that Travis was born, as Peter Vincent explained: "We were both struck by Oscar, the hopeless slob, fleshed out in the movie by Walter Matthau.

We wanted to write about a similarly hopeless character who is also a great optimist, always certain that the next thing he touches will turn out right because the last blunder was definitely someone else's fault! Travis has great charm, or at least he thinks he does.

Richard Briers now, really does have charm and he plays Travis with a wonderfully false sort of charm, vainly lavished on Victoria. She finds him not at all attractive, but oddly compelling. She misses him when he is not there, which makes life awkward for her."
