Literature Through Film: Realism, Magic, and the Art of Adaptation (2004) holds Praline up as an example of a "Sancho-like realist". The 2006 book The Best British Stand-Up and Comedy Routines describes the disgruntled Mr Praline as "all plastered down hair and plastic raincoat". Edward Slowik writes that in the "Fish Licence" sketch, Praline provides an example of Jean-Paul Sartre's existentialist concept of "bad faith". In this concept, a denial of individual freedom can result when a person fails to accept that past choices and behavior determine one's character.

Scuttlers distinguished themselves from other young men in working-class neighbourhoods by their distinctive clothing. They generally wore a uniform of brass-tipped pointed clogs, bell-bottomed trousers, cut like a sailor's ("bells" that measured fourteen inches round the knee and twenty- one inches round the foot) and "flashy" silk scarves. Their hair was cut short at the back and sides, but they grew long fringes, known as "donkey fringes", that were longer on the left side and plastered down on the forehead over the left eye. Peaked caps were also worn tilted to the left to display the fringe.

During this period, he referred to himself as "Captain Paul Cole", but he also used a variety of aliases, including Mason, Rooke, Corser, de Loebelle, Anderson, Deram and Godfrey. Cole fashioned himself as a suave upper-class Englishman dressed in plus fours, with plastered-down hair, and a finely-clipped moustache. His espionage work was also given the wholehearted support of Special Operations Executive (SOE) in London. However, in 1941 Cole was confronted by Albert Guérisse, a Belgian Resistance leader who ran the "Pat O'Leary Line" that helped Allied servicemen reach neutral Spain and English-controlled Gibraltar, about embezzling money, even though the SOE still vouched for his integrity.
