The saying “sleep tight” comes from Victorian times when homeless people or dossers as they were unkindly called would pay a penny to sleep slumped over a rope going from one wall to the opposite.
The tighter the rope, the more comfortable. |
That reminded me of a passage in George Orwell's "Down and Out in Paris and London", where he describes the "two-penny hangover," a grim Victorian shelter where the truly destitute could pay to sit on a bench and lean over a rope for rest, falling forward when the rope was cut at dawn. This lodging experience, including the "penny sit-up" and the "four-penny coffin", exemplifies the extreme conditions of poverty he witnessed |  | | |

I’m pretty sure the outside scene in the opening was filmed at St Albans an old prison now luxury flats. |
It WAS an old Victorian prison but it's actually now St Alban's registry office. |  |
