In the intro scene where Steed appears on Mrs Peel's television set, she's watching The Cybernauts from the previous season - very postmodern!
Christopher Lee walks out onto a different strech of road that the rest of the action takes place on (5:53), and the stuntman doesn't land next to a puddle either.

left: If Professor Stone's cottage has "not been lived in for weeks", how come there's a fresh loaf of bread, a pat of butter and a tankard on the table? It's not as though the replicant would need them.
