The exterior village scenes are filmed in Turville, Buckinghamshire, UK. The same village is used for the BBC sitcom "The Vicar of Dibley". Mr Tom's home is Sleepy Cottage and adjoins the Dibley vicarage, which is partially hidden by a wooden shed. In Dibley, Harry supposedly lives at Sleepy Cottage, but a property up the lane was actually used, giving the characters more space to walk.
The accent John Thaw used was criticized.
Based on the book, 'Goodnight Mister Tom'
The Blitz was a term to describe the German bombing campaign, targeting cities and the general population. It was a change in tactic from attacking industrial and military targets as a result of the German failure to win air superiority in the Battle of Britain.
Final film of Avril Elgar.
"Mr. Greenway: But then it isn't the boy's welfare this is all about, really. Is it, Mr. Oakley? Tom Oakley: Isn't it? Mr. Greenway: No, it's about you, I'd say. Your welfare. Tom Oakley: Me? Mr. Greenway: A lonely and, from what I hear, embittered old man, facing a lonely and bitter old age. Tom Oakley: You really think that's the only reason I want him back? Just to be company for me when I'm past it? Mr. Greenway: Well, isn't it? Basically? Tom Oakley: No, it bloody well isn't! And I resent the implication! Mr. Greenway: Doesn't it bother you at all that when you're seventy, he's still going to be in his teens? Tom Oakley: 'Course it bothers me. I'm not stupid, you know. There's not a lot we can do about that, is there? Look, I know it's not an ideal situation, anything but, but... But put it this way: it's got to be a damn sight more ideal than your Dr. Stelton in there turning him into some sort of human guinea pig. Mr. Greenway: Just tell me one thing, Mr. Oakley. Why is the boy suddenly so important to you? He's an evacuee, for God's sake. And one at that, as I understand it, you took violent exception to having foisted on you in the first place. Tom Oakley: Isn't it obvious? Mr. Greenway: Not to me, no. Nor to Dr. Stelton. Tom Oakley: Because I love him, of course. As if he was my own flesh and blood, I do. And for what it's worth, I think he loves me as well. Mr. Greenway: And is that really enough, do you think, in this day and age? Tom Oakley: Well, I suppose it has to be, hasn't it, Mr. Greenway? In this day and age or any other. Because if it isn't, what else is there, eh?"
