- TriviaThe Plank with all the stars' signatures was sold at an auction in Colchester on 5 December 2011 for £1,050. It had been previously won by a family in Clacton for being the 100,000th visitors at an Ideal Homes Exhibition.
- GoofsIn the police station, the Sergeant (Stratford Johns) pours himself a mug of tea, reaches under the counter and brings out a bag of sugar, puts 2 spoons of sugar in his tea, looks up at the crowd, then reached under the counter again, brings out a bag of sugar and puts 2 spoons of sugar in his tea.

Smaller Workman: Oh... and the cat!
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits of the film begin with a shot of the plank itself, with the caption "Starring The Plank". This leads on to a succession of credits, some of which try to squeeze into the frame, and others which are sung by the cast. The final entry is a credit, also spoken by Eric Sykes, which reads: "Oh! ... And The Cat!"

Featured review
Very funny. Very good cast.
This film is actually quite good. Eric Sykes and Tommy Cooper are brilliant. But I would say this film is not one I would buy but one that is good to watch on TV.
A myriad of stars usually mean a film is rubbish but this film proves wrong. The stars all have funny little cameo roles that keep you going "ooh I know him" and having to go here to look for them!
