- Retroactive Recognition:
- The Staff Captain at the training weekend is played by Michael Knowles, who would later be best known for playing Captain Ashwood in It Ain't Half Hot, Mum and Teddy Meldrum in You Rang, M'Lord?.
- Lieutenant Short is played by John D. Collins, who would later be best known for playing Fairfax in 'Allo 'Allo!.
- Special Effect Failure:
- When Captain Mainwaring lines up the shotgun at the roadblock, the close-up reveals the shells have already been fired.
- A policeman used to stop traffic during filming is visible when the platoon marches through the High Street.
- As General Fullard approaches the pontoon bridge, it is obvious there is a floodlight on him as he has a shadow in the middle of an overcast day.
- The pontoon bridge is clearly carpeted to allow General Fullard's horse to walk on it.
