Did You Know?
| Trivia | The book Mary gives Fergal for his birthday is "Titus Alone", the concluding volume in the 'Gormenghast' trilogy by Mervyn Peake. In the book, Titus, the heir to the castle of Gormenghast, decides voluntarily to cut himself off from his ancestral home and not to claim his heritage; rather like the choice which Mary is expecting Fergal to make in the film.

| Goofs | The flat offered to the couple near the beginning is completely squalid, containing dead birds, nests etc. No council would offer a home in this condition as they are required by law to provide safe and sanitary accommodation. They certainly would not say that tenants are expected to make 'an effort' to pass it off as suitable for use. See more » |
