The penultimate scene, in which George Spigot visits Heaven to ask God to readmit him, was filmed in the Great Conservatory at the historic Grade 1 listed mansion Syon House in west London. It features one of many in-jokes by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, since God was voiced (uncredited) by veteran British actor Valentine Dyall. Popularly known as "The Man in Black", Dyall possessed a deep, resonant voice, which led to him being frequently cast as authority figures or as sinister or evil characters. Dyall's status was also satirically exploited by author Douglas Adams, who cast Dyall as the voice of the Ultimate Computer, Deep Thought in the original radio version of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
