Trivia

  • Charles Hawtrey was added at the 11th hour, after American distrubtors specifically requested him, as he was such a hit and crowd-pleaser with audiences there.
  • Sergeant Bung's car is a 1904 Brushmobile. The Brush company was based in Loughborough, Leicestershire, England and only six of these cars were made.
  • Whenever Bung is using his car the soundtrack plays a variation of "Johnny Todd", the theme to the TV series Z Cars, which featured the latest car-based police of the 1960s. When Bung rides on the horse and cart the tune "Old Ned" is used: this is the theme to the sitcom Steptoe and Son which also starred Harry H. Corbett.
  • Due to stage commitments Sid James was unavailable for the film, so Harry H.Corbett was drafted in to replace him. Despite this, the character name Sidney Bung was retained, in keeping with James's characters on TV and film being named after him. Joan Sims played the catty long-suffering officer's wife.
