Trivia
A lot of the banter between Ricky Gervais and Anne Reid (playing Gervais's character's mother) was improvised.

Goofs
The film is set in 1973, yet all of the trains seem are in liveries from the 1960's. (While it is true that the last of the crimson coaches weren't repainted until 1974, by 1973 almost all locomotives were blue and coaches blue or blue and grey.)

Quotes
Bruce Pearson: Freddie, stop listening to music made by poofs. Stick on some Elton John.

Crazy credits
Karl Pilkington should be mentioned or credited on the film as characters based on his memories.

like a song

A seductive film. A drama , like a comedy. About ages, choices, appearences, mariage, friendship, teens, love, about small things defining each of us and about freedom. A film like an old song. Not for "70's atmosphere, but for accuracy of a near reality to you feel. A film about life, in its basic characteristics and about fundamental option defining it. The best scene, reminding the portraits of Vermeer-Emily Watson preparing the tea for her Mr. Kendrick , in blue dress, viewed from open door .
