Corrected entry: The external shots of "Finisham Maternity Hospital" were not that of a hospital at all - they were of Maidenhead Town Hall, in Berkshire. The only change the set desginer made was to put up the appropriate sign on the outside of the building.

Revealing mistake: When Hattie Jacques and Barbara Windsor see Madeline Smith about her baby, you can see that the 'baby' is an obvious doll.
Dr. Prodd: Name, please?
Miss Smethurst: Smethurst.
Dr. Prodd: Oh yes, I have some good news for you, Mrs Smethurst.
Miss Smethurst: Miss Smethurst.
Dr. Prodd: Oh, in that case I have some bad news for you.
Trivia: The plot of the medical drama that Charles Hawtrey and Hattie Jacques settle down to watch is taken directly from the film "Green for Danger", which gave Jacques her first talking role.
