Veteran actress Patience Collier plays a "Mrs. Levin" in the film, and is outrageously made up to resemble a transvestite version of the eminent journalist and broadcaster Bernard Levin, a friend of producer Ned Sherrin and one of the stars of Sherrin's most famous TV series, "That Was the Week That Was (1962)" (1962).
The overall concept is in direct ridicule of the then ongoing campaign by Mary Whitehouse, a British teacher and conservative activist, on gratuitous sex in advertising (and many other fields). Certain scenes, such as the parish council watching entire programmes which they are offended by simply to count the offensive incidents, exactly parodies Mary Whitehouse's infamous and ironic behaviour of the time.
