Argumental — The claim that 'four episodes from its second series also airing on BBC Two' is incorrect: it was four episodes from the first series (not the second) that aired on BBC Two.

Big Zuu's Big Eats — The show won the BAFTA for Best Features, not Best Feature.

Big Zuu's Big Eats — Only Big Zuu has a refugee background; Tubsey and Hyder are not documented as having refugee backgrounds.
