** Several of the comments made towards Ranjid for his turban and calling his mouth a "curry hole" by the other dockyard electrician come across as uncomfortable in the modern day. It also isn't helped that Ranjid is played by Creator/SpikeMilligan in {{Brownface}}.

Added DiffLines:

* HilariousInHindsight: Creator/KennethConnor's characterisation as a wannabe electrician who mucks up whatever he tries to mend is eerily similar to his role in ''Nearly a Nasty Accident'', which came out the following year.
* RetroactiveRecognition:
** Commander Phillips is played by Creator/EdDevereaux, who would later be best known for playing Matt Hammond in ''Series/SkippyTheBushKangaroo''.
** The dockyard electrician working with Ranjid is played by Creator/EricSykes, who would later be best known for playing [[TheDanza Eric Sykes]] in ''Series/{{Sykes}}''.
** The sailor who lets Captain Foster know that Admiral Pettigrew has arrived onboard the ''Terrier'' is played by Creator/JackSmethurst, who would later be best known for playing Eddie Booth in ''Series/LoveThyNeighbour''.
* ValuesDissonance:
** Several of the comments made towards Ranjid for his turban and calling his mouth a "curry hole" by the other dockyard electrician come across as uncomfortable in the modern day. It also isn't helped that Ranjid is played by Creator/SpikeMilligan in {{Brownface}}.
** Admiral Pettigrew tries to force himself on Blissworth when he is disguised as Miss Potter and the whole scene is PlayedForLaughs.
