Trivia

The song that plays at the beginning of the movie is called "Summer's Magic" by Mark Summers . It contains two BBC Radio references. The first is part of the fast-talking introduction to "It's That Man Again" (ITMA), starring Tommy Handley , a comedy show which buoyed up British morale during the worst of World War II. The show was well-known for its rapid-fire delivery. This is perhaps to set up the character of Gary King as a glib, charismatic, persuasive leader. This is followed almost immediately by the soothing narrator who told stories to mums and their toddlers in the late 1950s on "Listen With Mother" - "Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin."
