David Thewlis was disappointed at being given such a small role, so Mike Leigh promised him that the next time he considered Thewlis for a role in a film, "he'd be given a fair slice of the pie." Thewlis would be cast as the lead in Leigh's next film Naked (1993), and win an award for his performance.
Aubrey's bizarre recipes were devised by Mike Leigh and Timothy Spall over the course of an evening, and then checked for plausibility with a professional chef, who advised them about which ones were technically impossible to prepare; all the ones that appear in the film are, as Leigh put it, "all feasible, gross as it sounds."
The menu of the Regret Rien restaurant includes: Black Pudding and Camembert Soup, Boiled Bacon Comsommé, Saveloy on a Bed of Lychees, Liver in Lager, Pork Cyst, Clams in Ham with Pan-Fried Cocke-based Sauce, Prune Quiche, King Prawn (just one) in Jam Sauce, Duck in Chocolate Sauce, Tongues in a Rhubarb Hollandaise, Tripe Soufflé, Quails on a Bed of Spinach and Treacle, Kidney Vols-au-vent, Chilled Brains, Prune Quiche, Grilled Trotter with Eggs Over Easy
On-screen twins Jane Horrocks and Claire Skinner were, appropriately enough, born in the same year (1964), though roughly nine months apart.
Mike Leigh's least favorite of his own films.
"[Natalie and Nicola ponder having children] Natalie: Well, I wouldn't fancy bringing one up on me own. Nicola: It's better to be on your own than be with a bastard. Natalie: Well, presumably you wouldn't *choose* a bastard in the first place if you had any sense! Nicola: All men are bastards! Natalie: *What*? Nicola: They're all potential rapists! Natalie: That's a bit sweeping! Nicola: All men have got the ability to rape. Natalie: Well they don't all do it, do they! Nicola: But they've got the ability; they've got the desire. Natalie: That's paranoid rubbish! Nicola: What d'you know about paranoia? Natalie: Well, not half as much as you do, I'll give you that."
"Patsy: [in a pub after a few beers] Far as I'm concerned, football died, the day Arsenal won the double. Andy: That's right, yeah. Patsy: What was they? Work horses. Andy: Boring buggers, ain't they. Patsy: Well the Spurs double team? They was artists. Andy: They was artists. Patsy: 21 quid a week they got. Can you imagine? What do they get today? Millions. Andy: And they got their back handers on top of that ain't they. Patsy: Poncing round the penalty area with their handbags. Andy: Prima donnas. Patsy: "Oh, he kicked a me, Ref." Andy: Brown, Baker, Henry, [both] Andy: Blanchflower Patsy: Yeah, Danny boy. Andy: Yeah. Patsy: He was the architect of the modern game, y'know. Andy: That's right, yeah. Patsy: Norman, Mackay, Jones, White, Smith, Allen, [both] Patsy: Dyson. Andy: Yeah, come on you Spurs. Patsy: John White, what a player, eh. Andy: Yeah. Patsy: I used to have a little picture of him on my wall, ringed in black. Patsy: Tragic. What a way to go. Andy: Struck by lightening. Patsy: On a golf course. Andy: What a waste, eh. You want another?"
