* ExecutiveMeddling: Although there was lots of arguing back and forth with the censors, the fact that there seemed to be a lot of poignant social commentary in there meant that Pete Walker merely had to cut a shot of Anne Marie being whipped to get it passed.
* GodNeverSaidThat: Many sources were convinced that Margaret Wakehurst and Justice Bailey were deliberate caricatures of Mary Whitehouse and Lord Langford, and their 'Festival of Light'. Pete Walker countered that Margaret came from a real person (see below for the inspiration) and that Mary Whitehouse was much different in personality to the character. Other sources claim that Margaret was based on women from the area in which he grew up, but he clarified that other interviewers noticed some similarities and he just admitted they had a point.
