12. 32:25 - The same people are walking up the stairs toward sthe house as were doing so at 30:12 - did they leave something in the car? Did they pop out for a gasper? Is this classic recycled footage?

14. 35:24 - The chairman of the conference is in the conference room, but a split-second earlier he was in the crowd through which Tara and von Curt were passing, along with some of the delegates.

21. 46:05 - Sadly, given the subject of this episode, the stuntmen playing the two Steeeds are not much like Patrick Macnee.
