Pants-Free: The movie has the BBC announcer going door-to-door, reading the news while kneeling behind a gutted-out tv cabinet, wearing a tie and coat that, beneath chest level, is tattered long underwear.

Oddly Small Organization: The BBC consists of just one man, because he's the only surviving member of the organization.

comment
Non-Human Head: A comedy in which radiation-induced mutations cause people to simple turn into things, there exists a character, The BBC, with a TV for a head. He speaks in the manner of a TV announcer.

Great Offscreen War: It's never explained who instigated the nuclear war or what it was fought over, since at this point it doesn't matter anymore.
