- TriviaThe bridge the balloon gets stuck on is at the former Wendling Station site on the current A47 near Dereham, Norfolk. The bridge has been replaced by a modern example but the station closed in 1969 and was demolished in 1975 to make way for the A47.
- GoofsThe verger descends into shot supposedly clinging on to a rope attached to the barrage balloon, but the wire which was really supporting him is visible.

Featured review
Hysterically funny
A classic episode of Dad's Army. Starts with the usual dialogue-driven humour but after a point it becomes a visual comedy, and what comedy it is! Some insanely funny scenes.
