Quiz
The film is dedicated to the memory of Al Boughen, 1933-2010, the real-life park ranger who inspired the character of Al Thorpe, and who was mentor to director Dan Hartley when he was a teenager, in the same way that Al Thorpe is to Tom Proctor in the film.

Blooper
When Tom runs away from the fair, the shot has been reversed, as evidenced by the backward "NO EXIT" sign and vehicle license plate.

Citazioni
[Tom is working for Al, the National Park ranger. He doesn't want to be there and thinks it is a waste of time. Al shows him how to saw a length of wood for a new stile he is making]
Al Thorpe: You ever used a saw before, lad?
Tom Proctor: [sullenly] Maybe.
Al Thorpe: Aye. Come over here and I'll show you how.
[Al rests his hand on the wood with his thumb sticking out. He rests the blade of the saw against the tip of his thumb]
Al Thorpe: See how I use me thumb to guide it.
Tom Proctor: [horrified] I could cut me thumb off!
Al Thorpe: No you *won't*! Now listen! All you're doing is establishing the cut. Once you've got a groove, you move your thumb out of the way. And then that's when you start to saw properly.
[sound of Al sawing]
Al Thorpe: Right. You got that?
[Tom looks away, bored]
Al Thorpe: Come on, then. *You* do it.
Tom Proctor: [mutters] Child bloody labour.
Al Thorpe: [sternly] Listen, lad. Ten weeks, me and thee have got together. And I'll not have you standing about idle whilst *I* do all the work. You're here to help. You're *not* here for a holiday. Do you understand that?
[reluctantly, Tom begins to saw]

Versioni alternative
The UK release was cut, the distributor chose to remove brief images of sexualised nudity in a softcore pornographic magazine in order to obtain a 12A classification. An uncut 15 classification was available.

A decent effort, but...

Fairly routine plot, nicely handled , though with a fair few amateurish touches. All those friends of the participants who have been drafted in to give the film ten stars have their hearts in the right place, but I am not a Yorkshire bloke and, with the best will in the world, I cannot see this very decent film getting more than 7 out of 10 from a competent critic. Methinks that lot doth protest too much!
