Trivia
At one point Ben Whishaw's character Freddie calls Bel (Romola Garai) Moneypenny, a reference to the James Bond series. Within six months of the episode airing Whishaw was cast as Q in the latest James Bond movie Skyfall (2012), a film which would reintroduce the character of Moneypenny played by Naomie Harris after being absent for the previous two Daniel Craig Bond films.

Goofs
The expression "the Devil's in the details" (a modern variation of "God is in the detail") was not invented until the early Seventies and did not come into general use until much later still.

Connections
Featured in La noche de...: La noche de... Liga de la Justicia (2021)
