Trivia:
Real-life Christopher Foyle, current owner of the famous Foyle's bookshop in London, makes a cameo appearance in this episode as a bookseller. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: This episode featured Sam being cured of skin anthrax by the drug streptomycin in 1942. However, this drug would not have worked against anthrax and more importantly it was not available until 1947. It was not even synthesized until 1943. moreQuotes:
Christopher Foyle: [Sam is driving Foyle and Milner to a farm] You're unusually quiet?...Samantha Stewart: Yes, sir...
Christopher Foyle: Does that mean you're thinking?
Samantha Stewart: Yes...
Christopher Foyle: Need any help?
Samantha Stewart: No, thank you... I just have to make up my mind about something, and it's rather akward. I feel as though I've come to a crossroads, and I'm afraid of making a wrong turn .
Christopher Foyle: Well, you just have, you should have gone that way, hind as left.
Samantha Stewart: Oh... Sorry...

Realising that there are now fewer and fewer viewers who actually lived through the war years in Britain, the accuracy of the scene setting and events is remarkably good. However, in 'Bad Blood'- which we were told was set in 1942 - one of the Anthrax victims (Sam) was cured by using Streptomycin. This wasn't even developed until October 1943 (by Rutgers, in America) and only released for restricted use (i.e. NOT for general hospital use) until the following years. I am also baffled to remember any effort or 'campaign' (apart from the usual wartime shortages), to save light bulbs? Neither can I find a reference to it. However, that is quibbling and generally the programs are excellent, very authentic and almost scarily evocative of living through those days.
