- Anachronisms: In the opening scene we see concrete sleepers on the railway line which were not introduced until early 1980s.
- Anachronisms: The black chimneys of Portcullis House, built in the late 1990s, can be seen in the long shots of the Houses of Parliament.
- Anachronisms: Early in the movie someone uses the word "presently" to mean "at present" or "now". In the 1940s (and earlier) in England "presently" meant "soon, in a short time".
- Anachronisms: Rape, though its bright yellow color makes for an attractive shot, was not planted in England until the late 1970s.
