Actor Ben Walden , real-life son of Brian Walden, makes a cameo-appearance as the Governor of the Bank of England.
Although the 1989 interview between Walden and Thatcher is selectively recreated verbatim, the post-commercial break exchange depicted actually took place before the break. After the break, they discussed the potential economic fallout of the crisis.
Steve Coogan also provided the voice of Brian Walden on Spitting Image (1984).
