- Anvilicious: The film was made at the time of the Berlin Airlift and audiences would have made the connection between the siege conditions of the Burgundians and the real experience of the Western Sector of Berlin.
- Retroactive Recognition:
- Arthur Pemberton is played by Stanley Holloway, who would later be best known for playing Alfred P. Doolittle in My Fair Lady.
- Professor Hatton-Jones is played by Margaret Rutherford, who would later be best known for playing Miss Marple in the Miss Marple films.
- Values Resonance: British People declaring independence and showing severe Didn't Think This Through, with their newly independent 'country' cut off and starving has resonance to the Post-Brexit era.
