- TriviaThe footage of Doctor Who (1963), seen on a television screen and used to depict the violence of the series, was edited to suggest that the scene takes place at the end of the episode. In fact, the scene in question took place around halfway through Doctor Who (1963) season five, episode four, "The Tomb of the Cybermen Episode 4". This clip was followed by part of the opening sequence, showing the title and Patrick Troughton's face.
- ErroresThe sign on the door of Lord Hill's office reads "Lord Charles Hill". This is incorrect as such a style implies that he was the son of a Duke or a Marquess. The sign should have read "Charles, Lord Hill", "Lord Hill of Luton" or, more likely, simply "Lord Hill".

David Turner: I've just had a spot of bother in Birmingham - I was ganged-up on by a group of schoolgirls and that demented housewife.
Sir Hugh Carleton Greene: Ah yes, of course. Now what *is* her name? No, don't tell me. Well you know what they say, old chap? Writing well is the best revenge.
[he turns to walk away]
Sir Hugh Carleton Greene: Though garrotting your enemy with cheesewire runs a close second.
- Créditos curiososOpening titles: "The story you are about to see really took place... only with less swearing and more nudity".
Mary Whitehouse went after more than the BBC, in fact more than TV she went after movies and print media. This movie never goes there. It does try to inject some humor but rarely with any success although it is possible it was successful with a British audience.
I am fairly familiar with Mary Whitehouse and some of her appearances on TV are available on YouTube. This didn't provide any new information unless you are completely unfamiliar with her you might learn the basics.
This was just a lighthearted look at the period and doesn't make any real judgement calls. Worth a watch.
