Anecdotes
Agutter playing Roberta for the third time over 54 years breaks the world record for playing the same character over the longest period of time in a movie. Also, the 52-year gap between her second and third time is a record for reprising a role. Both times succeeding Nick Castle.

Gaffes
The blackout did not appear to be in force in Oakworth. In many scenes, from Lily climbing out of the window and running down the field with a torch, to front doors being opened in a blaze of light, there was no indication that a blackout was in force at all.

Blackout regulations started on 1st September 1939 and ended in May 1945. Rules were relaxed slightly in September 1944, but only to allow very low levels of lighting, no brighter than moonlight.

Lily's torch would have been pasted over with dark paper to dim the beam, or black paper with a slit in it.

Sweet but lacklustre

There is nothing inherently wrong with this film, it is very sweet, quaint and positively intoxicating with its timeless charm of trains in the Yorkshire countryside. But the audience need something more to keep The film from being boring; it is simply not enough to recycle the same locations and the same plot points because from very early on this film just becomes a predictable tribute to the superior 1970s version.

An interesting point to note is how everyone from film critics to members of the public have complained about the secondary theme regarding racial inequality. Nobody was expecting nor wanted this theme in the film and subsequently it is quite jarring and feels out of place according to many people. I for one argue that in order for a period film to be successful nowadays it has to carry social related issues such as racial inequality in order for it to be able to relate to the wider public. After all, we are now so much more aware of racial related issues, ignoring it is hard to do.

In spite of the beautiful shots there was a really terrible continuity errors that were next to unforgivable and the hammy acting. Of the children left much to be desired when it came down to the casting director's choices.

This film will mostly have a fondness towards it, but it's destined to be consigned to TV as a Sunday afternoon filler.
