The film is completely free of speech, with the score by Ronnie Hazlehurst and various sound effects and vocalisations in their place.
Ronnie Barker was a keen collector of saucy seaside postcards, exemplified by the work of Donald McGill, and had published several collections about them.
[1] Corbett notes that the first cut of the film assembled by Barker and an editor ran to one hour forty minutes.
Jimmy Gilbert, BBC Head of Comedy, told Barker it was far too long and commissioned producer Alan J. W. Bell, the director of Last of the Summer Wine, to improve the film.
Despite being given a budget to reshoot scenes if required, Bell re-structured the film and cut it down to fifty-five minutes.
