Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the war approximately 90 million aerial photographs were taken. Of them, some 10 million still survive.
On one occasion, a photo analyst was looking through his stereo viewer of a pair of aerial photos. He noticed an image of a man standing up against a wall, responding to the call of nature. A lot of hilarity ensued among the photo analysts and many of them took turns looking at the image. But then someone noticed something else.
Nearby was a set of strange rails and they also saw some tube-like objects - things that would have been overlooked were it not for the man in the photo. It turned out that this was a launcher for V1 "doodle bug" flying bombs. Thanks to the man's need for relief, the bombers were alerted and were able to take down a rocket site.
- GoofsThe episode opens with an obviously Catholic confession (since only Catholics practice confession and the confessor is seen praying the rosary). The character confesses to "breaking the 6th Commandment," and the priest replies: "You've killed someone?" In the Catholic tradition "Thou shalt not kill" is the 5th Commandment; it is the 6th Commandment in the Protestant tradition.
- Quotes
Rev. Aubrey Stewart: So why don't you tell us what you're doing with yourself, now you've been thrown out of the police?
Samantha Stewart: I wasn't thrown out, I resigned. Anyway, I can't tell you anything except I'm making a vital contribution to the war effort.
Rev. Aubrey Stewart: I'll drink to that.
Samantha Stewart: It's not the same, you know, sir. You should have stayed.
DCS Christopher Foyle: Really?
Samantha Stewart: Well, if you're writing a wartime history of the Hastings police, you ought to stay until the last chapter.
DCS Christopher Foyle: No... Belongs to somebody else.
Samantha Stewart: DCS Meredith, you mean. He was the one who fired me.
Rev. Aubrey Stewart: I thought you said you resigned?
Samantha Stewart: Well, I would have... Given the chance.
I wish they had a Catholic priest adviser for this episode. The following mistake would have been caught and remedied:
The church was not decorated in the way an RC church would look at the time.
There would have been a tabernacle on the altar.
The monstrance would not be on the altar without lit candelabra to either side.
No choir would think of rehearsing with their backs to the monstrance.
Men and women in a choir would be separated from each other.
Father Keppler would have worn his biretta in the top of his head, not toward the back of his head.
