Trivia
Dame Julie Walters shaved her head to reproduce Dr. Marjorie "Mo" Mowlam's hair loss due to the tumor, but she had to leave a small strip at the back for Mo's various wigs to which to be attached.

Goofs
During the scene in the salon trying on the wigs, Robbie Williams was singing "Angels" on the radio, which wasn't released as a single until December 1997 (and the album "Life Thru A Lens" was released in September 1997).

Quotes
[Mo Mowlam and Adam Ingram arrive at a meeting of the Protestant Orangemen who want to stage a march past a staunchly Catholic housing estate]
Adam Ingram: Should I try telling them I've got a season ticket to Ibrox?
Mo Mowlam: Well, at least you're a Prod, Adam, and a bloke. I bet this is the first time there's ever been a fanny in the building.
[as they walk in there is heckling and jeering]
Mo Mowlam: I take that back - the place is *full* of cunts.

Very moving

Julie Walters excels as Secretary for Northern Ireland Mo Mowlam, and she should have won a Golden Globe or something like that for her incredible performance. This is more about the usual mimicry in biopics. Julie Walters maintained her acting persona but still managed to portray Mo warts and all.
