 Mel Smith (qv) (The Albino) has confessed to never having watched  his performance in this film due to the painful experience involved  in filming the role. His character required him to wear coloured  contact lenses and, unknown to Smith and the costume department at  the time, he was actually allergic to the lens solution used. This  meant that Smith was in constant pain and discomfort throughout  filming; hence, he is reluctant to relive the memory.
