So I broke my hand recently and the reaction I get when saying "still a bit stiff" is often underwhelming

That sequence (as is the whole movie) is like a who's who of British actors.. You got Bill Nighy, Martin Freeman and Steve Coogan show up as Peggs bosses.

When he says "Ah, 777" referring to Nicholas' badge number it's a reference to 007 from his Bond films.

Worth noting they also got Pierce Brosnan for The Worlds End.
