In a deleted scene (available on the DVD) between Will and Marcus in Will's flat, we get to both see and hear clips of Countdown on Will's TV set. The errors are with the utilisation of Countdown for this sequence: The way it's laid out it doesn't just work like that on the Countdown programme itself. On the deleted scene in question, the countdown clip starts with the theme, when we next see it on Will's TV it's on a word game with the clock music running, then a couple of minutes later we hear that the clock music has started again but there's been no new selection of letters or numbers. When Marcus sits back down again at the end of the scene the starting theme tune for Countdown begins again. See more...

It says during the final credits that several scenes from Billy Elliot were show throughout the movie. I don't remember seeing these scenes. When are they shown? [It's when Will is in HMV looking for a CD and it's on the screen in the background.]

What accent does Christine's character speak with? Which part of the UK, social class if anyone knows, etc.? And also the character who's the host in Will's favorite restaurant, the one who says "Will, you're disturbing the other customers"? [Christine is from Glasgow, Scotland. The maitre d' is Russell Barr (http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0056566/).]
