Production
Filming of exterior scenes at Gregory's school took place at Abronhill High School.
As the film had a small budget, the actors supplied many of their own clothes. Dee Hepburn's white shorts were borrowed from her sister.
The film was re-dubbed with rather Anglicized Scottish accents for the original American theatrical release. Both versions are available on the American DVD release.
Many of the young actors were members of the Glasgow Youth Theatre, and had appeared in Forsyth's earlier film, That Sinking Feeling (1980), including Robert Buchanan, Billy Greenlees, and John Gordon Sinclair.
A person in a penguin costume is seen at various points in the film for no apparent reason. Inside the suit was Christopher Higson, son of production manager Peter Higson.
