Trivia
The 'computer system' used by Sid and Hattie was originally built by Century 21 for use in the TV series UFO (1970).

Goofs
When Terence Philpot gets out of his car to visit Jenny Grubb, he looks in the back of the Mini and sees the couple. In the background, you can see the shadow of the boom mic.

Quotes
Bertrum Muffet: I want a wife, like that
[indicating Hattie Jacques]
Sidney Bliss: I think we can do a bit better than that...

Crazy credits
Closing credits: AND SO THEY WERE MARRIED AND FOUGHT HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

Alternate versions
Despite the stronger subject matter the UK cinema version suffered only mild BBFC cuts with the removal of the dialogue lines "You can't do much with your little finger" (from an exchange between Sid and Terry) and "You know, putting it in, the meat" (which lost the last two words) from Jenny's description of her job as a sausage packer to Sally. Video and DVD versions feature the same print and the cuts may no longer survive.

Connections
Edited into Carry on Laughing: Episode #1.13 (1981)

Carry On No. 20

This is a bit daft, but its not as bad as the last 2, its just a bit stilted and set in the 70's sex scene.

Sid James is back on top billing, and its got plenty of regulars, Ken Williams, Charlie Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Hattie Jacques, Terry Scott, Peter Butterworth, Bernard Bresslaw, Julian Holloway and new girl Jacki Piper, Joan Hickson returns after a long gap, and there is anew boy Richard O'Callaghan, he only did 2 , but with a high profile. Two cameos were performed by Bill Pertwee (Dad's Army) and Bill Maynard (Heartbeat) who went on to do a few more.

This was all a bit average and I was going to give it a 6 until the wedding party at the end which was hilarious, so it raised it one star.
