Peter Egan


Peter Egan is listed in the credits, but does anyone know where he is? I can't even see him in the DVD deleted scenes. Also, does anyone know what the family were doing with a coalhouse full of coal? Every fire in the house appears to be electric.

I was thinking exactly the same. Must have missed him somewhere at the very start. Shame as I was expecting him to pop up at any time.

I saw the film when it came out and recently watched it again with this question in mind. I can't see him anywhere, and his name is fairly high in the credits. He can only be one of the guys with their backs to the camera in the queue to tour the house, but I'd have thought they'd be extras. I've trawled the net to find any mention of his scenes being cut, but with no luck.

It's not "The" Peter Egan.
Just so happens one of the school children has the same name.

reply

The coal house thing is presumably because the dad and his pal were coal delivery men. I suspect it was where they stored their coal?

reply

The coal would come from a coal yard, they'd be filling up that big ol' flatbed truck with loads of it everyday. I was thinking it might be for a coal powered boiler maybe...

reply

The coal for their coal delivery business I mean.
