Adrian expresses frustration about how he isn't having sex and asks Pandora to show him her nipple, but other than that there is nothing sexual in nature shown beyond a masked Pandora performing a belly dance at a fancy-dress party.

Adrian expresses concern about "the bomb" dropping, since nuclear war was a big possibility in the 1980's, and in Episode 6 Pauline says she wants the family to move to Wales so they have a chance of surviving a nuclear attack, but there are no nuclear explosions shown.
