* DigitalDestruction: The 2006 DVD cuts out the scene of Wally showing flowers up a porcelain pig's backside, the entire sequence of Wally and Edward in his workshop, and the beginning of the town hall scene. The deletion of the former scene now causes an OrphanedReference, as the scene of Delia finding the flowers inside of the pig is still kept in the film.

** Before dropping Ray Galton and Alan Simpson as his writers, the two had written Creator/TonyHancock three film scripts. Hancock was worried that the projects were wrong for him, so the first two were unfinished. Only the third was completed, but it was still rejected. Hancock apparently didn't read any of the three screenplays, instead, he hired Philip Oakes to co-write this film, which he had previously discussed without them.

** Before dropping Ray Galton and Alan Simpson as his writers, the two had written Creator/TonyHancock three film scripts. Hancock was worried that the projects were wrong for him, so the first two (the first being about an idle young man and his three businessmen brothers - rejected for not having international appeal, the second about Hancock playing a passenger on a cruise liner - rejected for being too similar to ''Film/MrHulotsHoliday'') were unfinished. Only the third (''The Day Off'', revolving around the mishaps that happen to a bus conductor on his day off from work) was completed, but it was still rejected.

* IronyAsSheIsCast: Creator/TonyHancock plays a Theatre/PunchAndJudy man, but Hancock hated puppets. He also hated ice cream, so for the scene where Wally eats a Piltdown Glory, Hancock had to wash the taste out of his mouth with vodka between takes.
* RomanceOnTheSet: Creator/TonyHancock had a crush on Sylvia Syms during filming. Syms turned Hancock down instantly as they were both married.
