Apparently, in all the rehearsals for this scene the director would count one-two-three and then they'd let Alan Rickman drop. Just before the actual take, the director whispered to the guy holding Rickman to let him drop on the count of two - that's how he got the look of surprise on Rickman's face...

Next you will say he invented steam
No, don't be silly. The steam engine was invented by his half-brother James Rodriguez. He was hard of hearing, so everyone called him 'What?' as a kind of joke. To honour his invention of the steam engine they decided to name the unit of power the Rodriguez, but that didn't go down too well with certain right-wing, anti-immigrant American politicians, and so they used his nickname instead. Here again, to avoid any confusion, they altered the spelling to the more familiar Watt. Not a lot of people know that.....

With my sensible hat on, that's not as daft as it looks. The air pillows are to stop the load moving when in transit. Bubble wrap might not weigh much but it's probably not good to have it rattling around in the box.
Why not, if you are hungry you may want some bubble and sqeak.

So there I was at the side of the road. The car had stopped and wouldn’t start.
Steam coming from under the bonnet and oil running out from underneath.
I flagged this car down and the driver said “Can I do anything to help? I said “Do you know anything about cars?” He said “No. I’m not a mechanic, I’m a chiropodist”
I said “Well in that case could you give me a toe” ....🤣
