Goofs:

Continuity: Milner is shot in the left arm by a suspect resisting arrest. When Milner next appears, his arm is in a sling. After that scene and for the rest of the episode, he appears without the sling and with his arm working perfectly. Since the events of the episode are identified as taking place all within the first 22 days of June, leading up to the German invasion of the Soviet Union, which is announced at the episode's end, there would not have been enough time for him to make such a complete recovery.

Quotes:

DCS Christopher Foyle: It would be nice to think so.
Samantha Stewart: Well I'm going to drink to it anyway, over by Christmas?
Sgt. Paul Milner: You said that last Christmas...
Samantha Stewart: All right then... New year?...
DCS Christopher Foyle: New year.
