Seen throughout the film, Noda Taxis are a genuine North Eastern firm, established in 1947.
Alun Armstrong (Tommy - Milkman) appeared in the series 2 episode Conduct Unbecoming (1974) as the character Douggie Scaife. He later starred with James Bolam in Flics toujours (2003) in the early 21st Century.
Rodney Bewes stated that during the filming of this movie, James Bolam made personal remarks against him, and they have not spoken since.
