* CastingGag: Creator/AnthonyHead plays the Chancellor of the Exchequer after having played the Prime Minister in ''Series/LittleBritain''.
* FakeBrit: Creator/MerylStreep of course in one of several roles for which she has donned an English accent. She even [[MethodActing maintained it off-camera to make sure it was consistent]]. She did however take the time to ask the crew to just call her by her real name and not "Mrs. Thatcher" or something similar.
* MethodActing: Meryl sat in a session at the House of Commons to help prepare for the role, as well as talking to many people who knew UsefulNotes/MargaretThatcher in real life.
* MoneyDearBoy: Subverted. Meryl Streep was paid $1 million, but she donated the whole salary to the Women's History Museum.
