Trivia
The scene where Cliff drives his Mini motor car under the colonnade of the Birmingham Council House was a stunt, in reality, performed by local motor racing legend and night club owner Martin Hone.

Goofs
On leaving the Council House to go to Gas Street, Tim/Cliff correctly turns right (westwards) but then he is next shown walking along New Street which is in the wrong direction (south east) away from the Council House. He then follows a route which jumps rather randomly around the city centre before finally arriving at Gas Street.

Rum in brum

The only bearable way to watch this film is to fast forward through all of the songs.So then you can watch George Cole before Minder,Hugh Griffith's overacting like mad and Richard Wattis making the most of his cameo and Anthony Andrews in his first film,before his role in Young Churchill.The brutalist architecture of Birmingham is unspeakably bad,like the film.
