One of Didier's entourage is wearing sun glasses because as director Garth Jennings puts it at 22:50 in the DVD commentary "He could not stop looking directly into the camera."
In the 6th form scene, director Garth Jennings mentions at 60:40 on the DVD commentary that for legal reasons they had to cut a bit showing a renowned 1980's toy (recalled because its paint contained lead) being licked on a dare by a boy. The end-piece for the bit, where the boy bursts out of a door and vomits, is still in the film at 62:49.
Jan Pinkava, who appears in the movie on the real television show Screen Test and won the Young Film-Maker's Competition of the Year Award, later went on to write and co-direct Ratatouille (2007) for Disney-Pixar.
In the scene showing Will Proudfoot drawing in bed, director Garth Jennings mentions at 63:00 in the DVD commentary that his own humming was used in post production to replace Bill Milner's humming because the production had Bill hum "Tour de France" by Kraftwerk during the shoot but they were subsequently unable to clear the rights to use that song.
Director Garth Jennings's wife plays the nurse stitching Will Proudfoot's arm in the hospital scene.
"Lee Carter: I don't care what you and your so-called mates say about me, but don't you ever, ever call my brother a scab! You know, at least he's there for me! At least he cares about me, which is more than I can say for you, blood brother. You're a two-faced fake like the rest of them and I'm gutted it took me this long to work it out. I'm gutted I fell for it, Will. Lawrence is better than all of you and all that lot put together and he's all I've got, alright? He's all I've got. [sobs] Lee Carter: I didn't come back for you anyway. Where's my camera?"
"[last lines] Lee Carter: This has been my best day of all time."
