The film centres on the successful but obsessive headmaster of a comprehensive school Brian Stimpson played by Cleese. His school runs 'like clockwork'. On the way to a headmasters' conference at which he is a speaker many misfortunes befall him and his ordered world begins to unwind. A Morris 1100 car, similar to the one beaten with a stick by Cleese in Fawlty Towers epsiode 'Waldorf Salad', plays a key role in the plot of this film as well.

There are times where the movie is actually more painful than funny, and we cringe a bit at some of the things Stimpson causes his traveling companions to endure.
John Cleese fuels the movie with a performance that is the epitome of everything we have come to expect from him.
John Cleese and this movie are acquitted and are free to go; just in time for the next train, as it turns out.
Looking at it from the "front" it could be spinning clockwise then if looking from "behind" it would be counterclockwise without ever having to actually change direction...
This is entirely due to the fact that in the shots after the second one, the station was being viewed on the other side, thus changing its apparent rotation.
The stars rotate clockwise, which means relative to the starts the station is rotating anti-clockwise.
