- Ass Pull: Miranda winning the Strauss Scholarship. Out of the five flatmates, she was the one with the least importance or screentime, so her winning over someone like Malcolm or Mervyn feels undeserved.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: The film features a barman called Mike many years before Only Fools and Horses would have their own Mike the barman as a recurring character.
- Retroactive Recognition:
- Sir John is played by Geoffrey Keen, who would later be best known for playing Sir Frederick Gray in the James Bond films.
- Mrs. Bostwick is played by Joan Hickson, who would later be best known for playing Miss Marple in Miss Marple (1984).
- Phil is played by Jim Dale, two years before he joined the Carry On... Series.
- An elderly man at the concert is played by Erik Chitty, who would later be best known for playing Mr. Smith in Please Sir!.
- Values Dissonance:
- When the cab driver tells Chesney about his accident with Jill, he remarks that "it's these women drivers, they're all the same".
- Sir Benjamin uses the word "retarded" to insult a class of students.
