 During the motorway scenes, in the interior shots of the car,  Paul McGann (I) (qv) is seen to be driving, but in some exterior  shots, the driver is Bruce Robinson (I) (qv), the director. The  reason for this is that McGann had only just passed his driving test  when the film was made, and so was a bit wobbly on the motorway.  Also, as he pulls away in London to set off for the Lake District,  he stalls the car. This was unintentional, and was included anyway.
