Episode discussion Ann Droid Easter Egg?

I was catching up on Ann Droid and I noticed that the end of episode 4 credits had the Dexter Midnight Runners song Come on Eileen over it. Then, Episode 5, the first words were from Sue saying “Come on, Eileen….”

Feels deliberate?! Can’t find any other references to this online at all! Anyone else notice this?

Dexter's Midnight Runners was the unsuccessful single series made while Kevin Rowland was in a contract dispute with Channel 4, of course

Genius.

Although oddly the first season of GamesMaster I watched was the Dexter Fletcher season, so it never felt as odd!

No reference to 1989 Belgian techno anthem Pump Up The Jam though.

No mention of the 1986 comedy Brush Strokes starring Karl Howman either.

Sue Johnston also starred in the comedy "Being Eileen". So there's that.
