    • Trivia
      Production Designer Rob Harris and his team made a functioning replica Ha-Go 95 Japanese tank. Anti-aircraft guns and 25lb field guns were either borrowed from the Malaysian Army, or left behind by British and Australian troops.
    • Goofs
      The Air Chief Marshall's Aide is portrayed as a Major General, which is far too high a rank for that kind of role, plus the actor is too young to be playing a general. In fact, a typical Aide to a general command would be a Captain or a Major.

    Dreadful show.
    I don't know what genre this series is supposed to be. It could be satire but not really black enough for that. Historical genre it has some of that yet if it is even a little true then no wonder the British fell in Singapore. This does not have much going for it at all.

    FAQ1

    • Is Harry Treadaway (from Mr. Mercedes) and Luke Treadaway (from The Singapore Grip) the same actor? They look alike. Both from the UK.I have also noticed that in The Singapore they play a song from Mr. Mercedes - Run Rabbit Run. Am I hallucinating?
