The title is a quotation from J.M. Barrie's "Peter Pan": Peter tells Wendy that Never Neverland is "second star to the right, and straight on till morning."
A tin of 'Collinson's Coffee' appears in Peter's kitchenette; this is an in-joke referring to the director, Peter Collinson.
Rita Tushingham and James Bolam appeared in two back-to-back movies directed by Tony Richardson: Tushingham in A Taste of Honey (1961) and Bolam in The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (1962).
