Several characters remained unnamed during the film but do have names that are used in the soundtrack album track listing and elsewhere. There is no mention in the film that Eric Idle's ever-cheerful joker is called "Mr Cheeky", or that the Roman guard played by Michael Palin is named "Nisus Wettus".

[[Spike Milligan]] appears as a prophet, ignored because his acolytes are chasing after Brian. By coincidence Milligan was visiting his old [[Tunisian campaign|World War II battlefields in Tunisia]] where the film was being made. The Pythons were alerted to this and he was included in the scene being filmed that morning. He left in the afternoon before he could be included in any of the close-up or publicity shots for the film.<ref name="Channel 4" />
