Fawley Power Station
Series 4 episode 4 used Fawley Power Station, plant and the unusual circular control room as a location. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:03, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Tocsin !? (4-3, Lazaretto)
Perhaps it's a normal part of English English, but the pathologist saying, "Rings a distant tocsin." presented a word I'd never heard/seen before. Good thing I had closed-captions on, otherwise I'd have probably thought he'd said 'toxin', & it would have slipped right past me! UnderEducatedGeezer (talk) 05:38, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Closed captions introduced "cofle" to me. Tocsin was a new one: tocsin |ˈtɒksɪn|noun archaic | an alarm bell or signal.late 16th cent.: from Old French toquassen, from Provençal tocasenh, from tocar ‘to touch’ + senh ‘signal bell’.

In joke?
Series 5 episode 4, "Passenger" features "The Crossroads Motel" in "Kings Oak" near Birmingham and the receptionist is a young blonde woman closely resembling the "Crossroads" character "Jill Richardson". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.242.5 (talk) 20:35, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

The Great Gatsby
Maybe should be mentioned that series 3 episode 1 "Ride" has many similarities to "The Great Gatsby".124.169.77.59 (talk) 17:18, 4 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Do you have a source to support that? Otherwise, it's an eye of the beholder thing.  I don't see it at all.  --Drmargi (talk) 18:58, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Interesting point. I thought that myself about the Gatsby parallels. The novel's article almost ticks every box, especially the backgrounds of the key players. Gatsby was uber rich (through crime), with a hugely secret past, being that he came from obscurity, was obsessed with the leading lady who is shallow, and self-absorbed, while trying to impress her with his achievements -- it all sits on a house of cards that tumbles.

Episode guides
Why do these stop half way through the programmes? It is very strange, you would not write a summary of Hamlet that stoped at Act 2.They would be much more helpful if they went through to the end and dealt with the solution.
