Hold onto your hats. There’s a cameo from David Attenborough. He voices a wise old badger in a dream sequence.

Everyone on set kept a straight face. They didn’t. The blooper reel will be legendary.

Who is Missing? And Why It Works.
You might notice one character is absent. Helen’s mother is off visiting a cousin in Cornwall. It’s a deliberate choice.
