      The Wolverhampton Church Choir are singing music that requires 40 singers (Tallis' Spem in Alium) but there are fewer than 40 singers. Also the sound recording has the choir close-miked and split antiphonally (with the sounds of the sub-choirs coming from different places), but the choir seen in the film are all standing together.

    Gideon's Daughter

    With a good central performance from Bill Nighy, and as a way of showing that Emily Blunt would go onto be a star, this is a good piece of drama.

    Well worth a watch.
