Rick Savage - "The synopsis was put to us and we though this sounds like a really good heart warming British movie."

"I mean to us Rory Kinnear is like one of the great British actors. We wanna be involved in some way."

"And we met some really lovely people and had an insight into what it takes to actually make movies."

"And I think to hang around at Number One in this day and age of a fast food mentality on everything then it's done great."
