Its very dubious to put at the end of the film that Thoroughgood confessed to the killing on his deathbed in 1993 as if its fact as its solely based on the testimony of the only witness to that alleged statement, Tom Keylock, and cannot be corroborated. Therefore it is not fact and should not be portrayed as such.
Also if you listen to the featurette on the DVD about the making of the film they mention they cut the school swimming scene at the start cos the the actor (Gregory) playing Brian Jones looked too muscular and could not pass as a schoolboy. The commentary noted he had spent 'too much time in Third Space' gym. Unfortunately they didn't seem to have a problem with 'six pack' playing a junkie and alcoholic in later life.
Couldn't imagine De Niro training to get a six pack if he was portraying a waster junkie alcoholic musician. Vanity perhaps on the part of Gregory? It also made it look a bit improbable when the skinny Considine (Thoroughgood) is able to push the muscular (Gregory) Jones under water with ease.
