  • The man installing the clock at the start of the film is Bernard Mummery, who apparently was also the Royal Clock Winder at Windsor Castle.

  • "Jeweller Mr. C. D. Dyson walks out of door" - clarifying my earlier comment, the man walking out of the door is Bernard Mummery, of Dysons Jewellers.
