* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Dormandy never gets any real sort of comeuppance for shutting down the station and agreeing to leave the crew and DJs to die, although he would probably face a huge scandal and be demoted to the backbenches if Twatt and/or the Radio Rock crew get the word out that he deliberately refused to send rescue boats to the sinking station. Also there's the fact that the prevalence of the rock and pop music over the next at least forty years that he tried so hard to supress would be comeuppance enough in a meta sense.]]

* AnachronismStew: The movie is set in 1966-1967, but the crew play some songs that were released in later years (such as "Elenore" by The Turtles, which is from 1968.) "A Whiter Shade of Pale" was released in May 1967; it is unclear in the movie whether the scene in which it is played takes place more than three months before the Marine Offences Act came into force in August 1967.
