- TriviaWhen the Thursday family is watching tv at the beginning, they are passing around a box of Mackintosh's Good News chocolates; Fred asks "who's had the Savoy truffle?" The famous package of chocolates was the one whose inventory is listed in the famous George Harrison song "Savoy Truffle."
- GoofsWhen Dr. De Bryn is describing the heavy drinking of the murder victim, he refers to him sarcastically as "the last of the red-hot livers", a pun on the title of Neil Simon's well-known play, "The Last Of The Red-Hot Lovers". However, this episode of "Endeavour" is set in mid-1967, and Simon's play did not open on Broadway until December of 1969.
- Quotes
DI Fred Thursday: Did you see the way the girl flinched when he put his hands on her?
DC Endeavour Morse: Yes, I saw.
DI Fred Thursday: Pot and free love, I suppose. Free love. In my experience, that's the most expensive kind there is.
- Crazy creditsDuring the closing credits, when read in order, the red letters spell out "bloater paste," which is the sandwich spread Mrs. Thursday put on her husband's sandwich. Luckily he didn't eat it, because it was probably tainted. According to cooksinfo.com, "Bloater Paste is a fish spread made from salted, smoked herrings called "bloaters", which are smoked whole with the insides still in them. A bloater has a more gamey flavour than cleaned herrings. It is sold in small jars."

Home on the Range
This is another episode related to specific political issues again that regarding Southern Rhodesia, by now it's blown up to a full blown international incident involving a trade embargo with Britain.
It impinges on Oxford in a rather tangled web having at its centre a local business family the Richardsons, the seemingly innumerable strands involving a kidnapping of the daughter for a large monetary sum under the pains of death.
A protracted campaign against the company possibly in relation to them trading in embargoed goods, that involved poisoning and contaminating food produce, produced by the company and sold through its stores.
The consequences of everything include explosions, murder and a lucky escape for a young baby from contaminated baby food, an abducted baby, and political intrigue.
A happy and momentous occasion occurs in the life of Cowley stations DS Peter Jakes, something that to all accounts comes completely out of the blue, a new love of his life, and new family, his new Spouse Hope has study, work, and family connections to the States.
Morse seems something of a rum cove, invited to his mates leaving do he prefers to lurk outside the pub, when Jakes asks why he's not inside, he rather lamely cites work.
Most peculiar especially as he has gone out his way to ensure that, he "someone single with no one in his life" should take Jakes place, in any possibility of danger.
Morse is not seen to be working rather lounging in his new home, but when Jakes and his new partner are on the bus out of town, he discovers a good bye note to Peter from Morse, accompanied by some postal orders for their new child's future.
