Did you know

• In the scene where the coffin hits the railway bridge, the large house opposite the camera location was later demolished and the site redeveloped into two separate buildings - Block 11 and Block 11A.

• Partly filmed on the Ivybridge Council Estate in Isleworth, West London.

• The bus-stop bay used by the undertakers when they arrived to pick up the funeral party no longer exists. In around 2009, the road layout was altered and the bay was removed so that any buses stopping to pick up or drop off passengers now had to stop on the carriageway.
