I can understand that they wanted to make a nice tidy stand-alone film and not be bothered with a trilogy though.

I only saw it once at the cinema so I think a re-watch is needed at some point soon, when I can pick it up for around a fiver on blu.
I really wouldn't know about that.

I loved the Blackpool scenes, both on the pier and at the Tower. There's a doc on the disc about shooting in Blackpool on the prom and in the Tower Ballroom. It kind of surprised me as i thought it would be a CGI Blackpool but it wasn't. T'was funny watching them making the promenade snow covered with trams going by.
