Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Shot in just 20 days on a micro-budget, this was Cumberbatch's final pre-Sherlock role. Director D.R. Hood used her actual childhood village.

Insight

The title refers to a local term for people who dismantle old buildings—a perfect metaphor for what Nick does to David's constructed life.
