Correction: "Cats Eyes" were invented in 1933 by Percy Shaw. In 1935, he opened a factory to manufacture them and a year later, the first 50 were laid in Bradford. They became popular throughout Britain in World War II. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat's_eye_(road).

Corrected entry: When John Le Mesurier calls for 5 rounds rapid fire from the van, towards enemy on the left, the soldiers deliver three "rounds", then when called upon to deliver 5 to the sky above, they deliver four.

Correction: The Warmington on Sea platoon is not an efficient military outfit. This could be a character mistake, rather than a film mistake.

Visible crew/equipment: At the end of the film when Mainwaring is walking to the bank, you can see the camera lights in the window of Fraser's Funeral Parlour.

Captain Mainwaring: I intend to mould those men out there into an aggressive fighting force. I'm not going to get very far if you keep inviting them to "step this way."
