• The scene where a car is hurtling down the street and nearly runs over several bystanders and a little old lady was accomplished by separately filming the extras, an empty street and finally the car and combining them all digitally.
  
  
• Because of the problems finding suitable locations, the production took over an agricultural college in the Lake District and converted the huge hangers used for storing combine harvesters and tractors into special effects blue screen stages. Cottages, a bar and meadows all on campus were used as sets.
  
  
• When filming the car crash, a little old lady appeared out of nowhere with a tray on which she had tea and cookies for the film crew.
  
  
• Lee Saczak, who offered to double for the little old lady who gets knocked out by a flying severed leg, had to endure the ordeal 22 times. Afterwards he complained of feeling dizzy.
  
  
• Principal photography took place during the foot-and-mouth crisis. At one point, shooting ground to a halt because a trainee groundsman driving an industrial lawnmower hadn't turned off the blades as he drove over a huge mat used to sterilize the tires of vehicles entering the location. The mat became chewed up in the lawnmower and he lost control. The crew couldn't stop laughing.
