Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCharacters in this episode mirror Henry II of England and his entourage as seen in The Lion in Winter (1968):
- Henry II Plantagenet = Henry Broom (the Plantagenets had a broom in their family crest; the broom plant is "planta genista")
- Eleanor of Aquitaine = Nora Broom (estranged wife)
- "young Henry" (died approx. age 28) = Harry Broom, deceased
- Richard = Richard Broom
- John = Johnny Broom
- Alais, Henry's mistress = Alice Vexin, Henry's assistant (Alais brought Henry II the title to the Vexin)
- GoofsNear the beginning, DS Peter Jakes says to Morse, "Didn't get your invite, then?" The word "invite" is a verb, and while it may be used as a noun today, in the 60's the noun "invitation" would have been used.
- Quotes
[Alice brings in a vase of flowers]
Johnny Broom: Morning, Alice. How lovely you look today.
Alice Vexin: Thank you, Johnny.
Henry Broom: For Her Highness?
Alice Vexin: For your wife.
Henry Broom: Nora can't abide cut flowers.
Johnny Broom: Or they her. Blooms wither at her passing. They say a scorpion stung her once... and died.

Very Clever
A great detective murder mystery that pays homage to the classic 1959 British comedy movie "I'm All Right Jack".
