Special Notes / Trivia

Michael was accepted at Rayfield College
Michael's Mother's name was "Rose"
This episode marked the first time we ever see Catherine in bed with a man
The title would seem to reference the Arthurian Legend once again, but there is not written reference in any of the tales which uses these words, or their approximation.  It may well describe Sir Galahad, but there is not accepted evidence of this.
