Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Originally titled The Men at the Pru, a colloquial term for agents of the Prudential insurance company, which let Gervais and Merchant use its archives for research. After reading the script, Prudential was not pleased with how it would be portrayed and refused the use of its name, so the title became that of a junction in Reading.
