    • Trivia
      Cinematographer Dick Pope had to undergo a major heart surgery prior to filming, with director Mike Leigh amazed he was able to work on the film at all. Tragically, it would be their final collaboration as Dick Pope passed away on October 21, 2024 at the age of 77.

      When the doctor is about to auscultate Pansy, she is using her stethoscope backwards; the rubber ends are supposed to go towards the front, not the back, in order to go slightly inside the ear.
    • Quotes
      • [at the dinner table]
      • Pansy: You can't go in or out of a supermarket without being harassed by those grinning, cheerful charity workers begging you for money for their stupid causes. Why they gotta skin their teeth like that? Cheerful, grinning people. Can't stand 'em. Loitering out there, demanding your hard-earned cash. It's a scam. They're scamming people. Can't trust 'em. They want your phone number, your email. I asked one of them - I, I said, "Why do you want my postcode? I might as well just give you my front door key so you can bruk into my house, tief out my things, and kill my only child." And nobody calls the police on them. Police wouldn't come anyway. They're too busy harassing Black boys walking. And him round the corner with that dog. Got it dressed up in a red coat and green booties. Why has the dog got on a coat? It's got fur, innit? It must be sweating under there, stinking. That's cruelty to animals, that is, putting it under all that plastic. I've got a mind to report him to the NSPCG or whatever they call 'em. And her over there with that fat baby. Cold, cold, cold, and she's walking up and down the street with nothing but a big pink bow on its bald head so everybody can tell it's a girl, like I care. Parading it around in the little outfit. Not dressed for the weather. Nah. With pockets. What's a baby got pockets for? What's it gonna keep in its pocket? A knife? It's ridiculous.
      • Moses: It's the RSPCA, Mum.
      • Pansy: What?
      • Curtley: The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
      • Pansy: I know! I'm not stupid. Anyway...
      • [she gestures toward the next room]
      • Pansy: ...when we gonna replace that bruk-down sofa in there? Eh?
