    • Trivia
      The production designers went to a great deal of trouble to make this film look like it was made in the era it was set, including avoiding quick edits, softening the colour palette and using a relevant font for the film credits.
    • Goofs
      If you leave Waterloo Station to walk to the Greater London County Council (GLCC) you don't walk across Westminster bridge. They're on the same side South Bank.
