* In the episode "Lights Out" a pair of criminals disguised as policemen have been ransacking the pensioners' flats during a power outage. As they make their escape in an elevator, [[EnsembleDarkhorse Winston]] happens to be there minding his own business. He talks to them about how "good a job they're doing", making us think he is fooled by the disguise; until he lifts a sock into view and places a snooker ball inside ([[ChekhovsGun two objects he had taken for protection earlier in the episode]]) before smacking both crooks upside the head with it.
