Bob Cratchit: Yes, Sir.
Ebenezer Scrooge: Now please get back to work before I am forced to conclude that your services here are no longer required.
- Director Clive Donner was the film editor on Scrooge (1951).
- Edward Woodward replaced Leo McKern.
- Pat Keen, Rebecca Saire, Basil Henson and Richard Huw were interviewed for parts.
- This is, perhaps, the only version of ACC in which Scrooge wears dress-slacks, a dress-shirt and a vest (with an Alistair Cooke-type smoking jacket)...instead of merely his nightgown, slippers and cap. (Rumor has it that George C. Scott openly reeled at the very thought of portraying Scrooge under such conditions...especially in mid-winter England.)
- Last film for Derek Francis.
