The film intentionally stays away from giving any specific details regarding the two men's illness, though presumably they have some form of cancer. It was filmed on location in London's Charing Cross Hospital and in the Netherlands.

The film was based on a screenplay by Last of the Summer Wine writer Roy Clarke, and the musical score was composed by Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees.
