Continuity & Trivia

This episode is like Epic - where we are deliberately shown that the sets are sets and we see a glimpse of backstage reality.

16:50 - the nursery theme from Something Nasty In The Nursery plays when Steed leads Miranda into "Fort Steed", his old nursery. When the military history is mentioned, and later during the battle scenes, the martial music from Mission... Highly Improbable plays.

18:00 - Steed mentions the battles he's recreated: Corunna, Waterloo, Balaclava, Wellington's run after Napoleon, General Déclair's ignominious retreat.

The inscription on Mother's wreath reads "In Loving Memory of Our Dear Mother... The Finest Chap We Ever Knew. Died Suddenly - Explosively. R.I.P."

Bobby Cleaver's address is 25 Cranbrook Road.

It makes absolutely no sense that Murray and Rista kill Cleaver, who was the only likely lead to Steed's whereabouts.

It also doesn't make any sense that Mother doesn't answer the 'phone when Steed makes his hourly "all's well" of three rings of the phone.

Just who is so obsessed with clowns?
We have:

• Maxie and Jennings in clown make-up in Look- (stop me if you've heard this one) but There Were These Two Fellers...,
• the gang of mercenaries wearing clown masks in Have Guns - Will Haggle,
• Merlin wearing a clown mask in The Morning After,
• and Miranda Loxton wears a clown costume for the first quarter of Requiem.
