What's left behind the scenes

  • The film owes its existence to actor John Hannah. At a time when project funding was cut, Hannah happened to meet Sydney Pollack and mentioned the lack of sponsors during their conversation. Pollack became interested, read the script, and resolved all the project's financial issues.
  • Having met on the subway, James and Helen talk about The Beatles. Later, in one of the episodes, they get into a taxi and give the driver the address: 251 on 9th Menlo Avenue. John Lennon (1940-1980) spent his childhood and youth at 251 Menlo Avenue in Liverpool.
  • The rowers are played by members of the Cygnet Rowing Club, a London amateur rowing club.
  • The book that Helen accidentally spills tea on and then reads is the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" (1960) by American writer Harper Lee (1926-2016).
  • The scenes in the subway were filmed at the "Waterloo" and "Fulham Broadway" stations of the London Underground.
  • Helen’s first order as a waitress came from a long-haired patron with a Liverpool accent. Director Peter Howitt played this role.
