Behind the scenes

 * Stock footage of Elton John performing in concert is used for his very brief cameo in Love & Monsters, marking one of the few occasions a well-known British musical performer had been featured in such a way. A similar stock-footage cameo was conducted for the Beatles in the television story The Chase.
