| Goofs | In the opening credits, as the factory gate swings shut the top bar on it is partially obscured by the hanging miniature that adds another floor to the factory - which is really the front offices of Denham Studios. See more » |

Torquil MacNeil:
She wouldn't see a pound note from one pensions day to another. Joan Webster: People around here are very poor I suppose. Torquil MacNeil: Not poor, they just haven't got money. Joan Webster: It's the same thing. Torquil MacNeil: Oh no, it's something quite different. See more » |
