Did You Know?
Trivia | John Hannah is partly responsible for the film getting made after the funding collapsed. He coincidentally happened to be in a meeting with Hollywood hotshot Sydney Pollack and casually mentioned this great screenplay he was hoping to make. Pollack was sufficiently interested to read the script and immediately sorted out the funding. See more » |
Goofs | Gerry makes a joke about withdrawing Helen's Class One Drugs. Great Britain uses an alphabetical classification system so class one should be class A. See more » |

James:
Cheer up. Remember what the Monty Python boys say. Helen: "Always look on the bright side of life"? James: No, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition." See more » |
