Originally a radio play first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in the UK in March 2004, starring Sir Tom Courtenay as Stan Laurel
At the end of the movie, Stan receives a telephone call from "Dick," whom Stan invites to visit along with "the kids." Neil Brand, who wrote the screenplay, confirmed (via Facebook post) that the reference is to Dick Van Dyke, who became close friends with Stan Laurel in 1961.
