Harry H. Corbett's character was closely modelled on British prime minister Harold Wilson, down to using well-known Wilson phrases such as "thirteen years of Tory misrule" and speaking with a distinct Yorkshire accent.
The film is a sequel to Percy, which was itself based on a novel of the same name by Raymond Hitchcock.
