* ReferencedBy: Music/IronMaiden did a FilkSong based on it, "When the Wild Wind Blows". Albeit the ending is different, possibly to note how the world changed by 2010: there is no nuclear war, instead the couple mistakes an earthquake for an atomic strike and are DrivenToSuicide.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Music/DavidBowie was originally tapped to compose the film's soundtrack. However, he backed out as a result of mounting pressure from Creator/EMIAmericaRecords to make a proper studio album as a follow-up to ''Music/{{Tonight}}''. He instead contributed just the TitleTrack to the film, with Music/RogerWaters composing the soundtrack instead. Bowie's collaborators on "When the Wind Blows", multi-instrumentalist Erdal Kızılçay and producer David Richards, would carry over to ''Music/NeverLetMeDown'' because of all this.

* WriteWhoYouKnow: Jim and Hilda Bloggs were quite probably modeled after Raymond Briggs' own parents, at least if his later comic [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethel_and_Ernest Ethel and Ernest]] is any clue. [[FridgeLogic Why anyone would model two characters who die due to radiation sickness after their parents is a mystery, though.]]
** This is actually due to the fact that the Bloggs are the protagonists of a previous book that Briggs wrote, ''Gentleman Jim'', which was a study of working class Britain; knowing that, it makes a lot more sense that he would discuss working class people by using his parents as a reference. Also, the Briggs were supposed to be likeable to make it more harsh and anvilicious. The sweetest older people one knows are usually the own parents or grandparents.
