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.

This is so underrated!

So many absolutely priceless moments. You can see Gervais and Merchant's masterful moments here. The writing is so top notch, so many unexpected twists that make it an utter delight to watch. And the ending is so unpredictable and wonderful. Every actor was just at the top of their game. You have to credit so much of that to the director(s).
