Notes
- The episode was made at a time when the problem of pirate radio stations (which were illegal) was rife in Britain.
- The 5-mile-limit indicates that Britain has no legal authority more than five miles from the British coast.
- "A Walk in the Black Forest" was a popular instrumental recording when the episode was made.
- The words "Not A Pirate Radio Station" can be seen on the back of the boat when Graeme attempts to tow Britain away.
- The Melbourne-based Australian rock group the Plastic Spacemen took their name from the spoof advertisement for 'Plastic Spacemen' - with a free cornflake in every packet.
- Graeme's snooty remark about "the already disastrous course of adolescent culture" provokes a "thank you, Malcolm Muggeridge" from Bill.
