Cast

  • Andrew Scott as Lazlow: A new character not present in the novel, Lazlow is a secret agent pursuing Jim Turner.[1]

  • Kelly Macdonald as Mrs. Walker[1]
  • Gwendoline Christie as Mrs. Blackett[1]
  • Jessica Hynes as Mrs. Jackson[1]
  • Harry Enfield as Mr. Jackson[1]
  • Dane Hughes as John Walker[1]
  • Orla Hill as Susan Walker[1]
  • Teddie-Rose Malleson-Allen as Tatty Walker: Originally called "Titty" in the novel; for the film, the name has been changed as the original may "provoke too many sniggers".[1][2]
  • Bobby McCulloch as Roger Walker[1]
  • Seren Hawkes as Nancy Blackett[1]
  • Hannah Jayne Thorp as Peggy Blackett[1]

Production

Principal photography on the film began on June 21, 2015 in the Lake District, North West England.[1][3] The film would also be shot in Yorkshire.[3]
