Did You Know?
| Trivia | Many ideas used in the show can be seen in Russell T. Davies' work on Doctor Who (2005), particularly the episodes Turn Left (2008) and The Sound of Drums (2007). The most notable similarity is the re-use of the name Vivienne Rook. See more » |
| Goofs | The use of the virtual assistant Signor is inconsistent. On a few occasions it is triggered without anyone preceding a question with the word "Signor". One time it even interrupts a casual conversation unprompted to give a definition (about the movie Shirley Valentine). See more » |
