Did You Know?
Trivia | At 2:48 Sister Frances says that Sister Monica Joan is 'waiting for Doctor Who to start'. Doctor Turner treats a man called Mr. Percival, who is played by Peter Davison, who portrayed the fifth incarnation of the Doctor in Doctor Who (1963). Stephen McGann, who plays Doctor Turner, is also the brother of Paul McGann, who played the eighth Doctor. See more » |
Goofs | In the beginning, when the nuns are in the chapel, all four of them are supposedly reading the same text. But Sister Hilda and Frances' books are opened close to the middle, while Sisters Monica Joan and Julienne's are opened near the beginning. See more » |
