* TheFilmOfThePlay: Based on Spike Milligan's play of the same name.
* NonHumanHead: A comedy in which radiation-induced mutations cause people to simple turn into things, there exists a character, The BBC, with a TV for a head. He speaks in the manner of a TV announcer.

* {{Tagline}}: "WE'VE GOT A BOMB ON OUR HANDS (*BOMB - a motion picture so brilliantly funny it goes over most people's heads).
