    • Trivia
      The registration number of the Morris Minor has the letters "BY". Really used by the Croydon vehicle registration office in the days before regionalisation.
    • Goofs
      When Keith stops the car to give Ray a lift it is pouring with rain, yet when they start driving the wipers are wiping a dry windscreen.
    • Quotes

      [Keith and Candice Marie are perched next to Corfe Castle, surveying the surrounding countryside]

      Keith: Look at this view, Brownsea Island, Round Island, the Lakeland of Dorset... pity about the power station in the background, never mind... there are the heaths, Newton Heath, Rempstone Heath, Witch Heath... disused railway line going up to Wareham... and the great nimbocumulus rising above it all like great puffs of cotton wool.

      Candice Marie: Look at all this rubbish Keith.

      Keith: What?

      Candice Marie: Isn't it awful, look at all those tin cans.

      Keith: [disinterested] Yes...

      Candice Marie: Just imagine Keith, if all the people who lived here could come back... to all these crisp bags and sweet papers, they'd be horrified wouldn't they?

      Keith: They'd find it difficult to comprehend all the changes that have taken place in the world.

      Candice Marie: Do you think they do come back Keith?

      Keith: What?

      Candice Marie: Their ghosts.

      Keith: No...

      [Keith is distracted momentarily by something in the distance]

      Keith: There's a car going up the B3351.

    Keith! Keith!
    Where it all began for Mike Leigh. This was a TV movie about a married couple who go camping. She is an easily led dimwit, he an absolute boor. He marches around the countryside dutifully doing guidebook walks without really taking anything in ("What's that, Keith?" "It's Number 12.") and sticking to his own pre-arranged plans no matter what ("We can't do that tomorrow, we're doing something else tomorrow!") Of course, he goes to pieces by the end, but the best bits are that sheer comedy of embarrassment that Britain does so well.
