Cillian Murphy had smoked over 3000 cigarettes over the course of filming just by the end of Series 2. His current count would amount to around 6000 cigarettes on set. However, he has informed reporters that he smokes herbal cigarettes (they don't contain tobacco or nicotine, and hence aren't addictive) and the creator, Steven Knight joked that the herbal ones are so weak that they would "probably count as one of his five-a-day".

Winston Churchill was Home Secretary 1910-1911, not after World War I when the series is set.
