The title, a pun on the phrase "Band of Brothers" was inspired by a comment by Caitlin Moran's "Celebrity Watch" column.Caitlin Moran, "[http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/celebrity/article7125671.ece Celebrity watch: Thrill to the Miliband of Brothers]" in 'The Times', 14 May 2010.

Sam Wollaston, reviewing the production in 'The Guardian' wrote: "There are a few funny moments (I quite liked the Top Trumps Leon Trotsky, revolutionary status: 82 points). Mostly it's just very hammy and very silly, as the Tory one was."
