Margaret Drabble's original novel was titled "The Millstone", an ironic reference to the baby the unmarried heroine finds she's expecting, while trying to complete her doctorate. This was the working title for this movie, but it was deemed unsuitable and not commercial. In the U.S., this movie was released as "Thank You All Very Much", the sarcastic remark the heroine makes to a group of student doctors after they have studied her case at length, without ever speaking to her, nor making any acknowledgment of her as a person.
An iconic London landmark, the Post Office Tower (now known as the BT Tower) is regularly seen as a backdrop during the external scenes. Its in-vision usage was somewhat contrary to the then-wishes of the prevailing U.K. legislature. This was due to the Post Office Tower being classified as a building or structure significantly crucial to the reliable and fundamental operation of the telecommunications systems of the United Kingdom. Indeed, it was deemed so critical, its inclusion was banned on all maps, atlases, and similar of its day, as seen in this movie.
Theatrical movie debut of Sir Ian McKellen (George); Alfred the Great (1969) was released after this movie.
