• Idioms & slang: The show uses idiomatic English, Cockney and regional slang. Direct translations can feel flat; translators must find Khmer equivalents that carry the same tone and cultural weight.
• Historical context: 1920s British references, class markers, and socio‑political cues may be unfamiliar to Khmer audiences and require careful localization or brief contextualization.

• Humor and sarcasm: The show’s dry humor and layered sarcasm depend on timing and tone that don’t always map neatly across languages.
