Some press reports stated that the pig which Arabella kills and guts was a real pig being killed and gutted for real. This has been denied by Rachel Griffiths who insists she was given the carcass of a dead animal to portray the scene.
Christopher Eccleston (Jude Fawley) and David Tennant (Drunk Undergraduate) both later portrayed the Doctor in Doctor Who (2005). The former played the Ninth Doctor from March to June 2005 while the latter played the Tenth Doctor from June 2005 to January 2010.
Kate Winslet appeared full frontal nude in this film. When asked how comfortable she was with her first nude scene, she said: "Not at all! No way! Oh, it was awful. I was so nervous, I starved myself for a month. I went through all the paranoias: My bum's massive. My breasts are saggy. I've got a spotty back, chicken arms. I can't do it." But she did. "I just had to keep remembering the scene was a real turning point and get on with it. And at the end of the day you forget you're completely naked."
Based on Thomas Hardy's novel Jude the Obscure.
