Following the screening of the first episode, Guy took part in a Q&A and remarked: "This kind of filmmaking is based on rhythm and once you've established a rhythm you are subservient to it… it all conspired together in the cast's performance." 

The Gentlemen marks the first time Guy has worked with legendary actor Ray Winstone. Of their first time collaborating, Guy remarked: "Ray is rather wonderful. I wanted to work with Ray for a long time. It was a wonderful experience."
