Trivia:

The song used at the end of the episode was originally written for the Royal Shakespeare Company production of "The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby" - the staging at the end of the play in the episode was heavily influenced by the RSC's production.

Continuity: Simon Donovan can be seen putting away the armed robber's gun. When he gets up, his own gun is not in his hand, and he didn't have enough time to put it away.

Quotes:
