* CreatorInJoke: Captain Melly's line, "I've been regular for eighteen years" is also an in-joke about his actor [[Creator/KennethConnor Kenneth Connor's]] time in the series. He started in 1958 (''Film/CarryOnSergeant''), and when the film was made in 1976, he was in the films for eighteen years.

* IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: Sergeant Major Bloomer and Gunner Shorthouse were played by Creator/WindsorDavies and Creator/MelvynHayes, who were starring in ''Series/ItAintHalfHotMum'' at the same time the film was released. Davies is practically playing the same role in both - that of a perpetually disappointed, constantly shouting Welsh Sergeant Major.

Captain S. Melly (Connor) is put in charge of 13-13 Experimental Battery during the darkest days of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. It's a relief for Captain Bull (David Lodge) and Sergeant Major "Tiger" Bloomer (Davies), who have to put up with the antics of Sergeants Leonard Able (Mower) and Tilly Willing (Geeson), Bombardier Ready (Douglas), and the rest of the troops who follow their sexual antics in suit. Private Alice Easy (Creator/DianeLangton) tries to charm her commanding officer, Private Jennifer Ffoukes-Sharpe (Sims) tries to flirt with hers, and Gunner Shorthouse (Hayes) tries to get anyone he can. Despite the efforts of medical officer Major Butcher (Creator/JulianHolloway), rigorous training and a barbed wire chastity fence, the platoon is still a shambling shower.
