* BritsLoveTea: Inspector Calhoun's reaction to almost any situation is to demand tea from the woman police constable in his office. He is infuriated to learn that he is being served tea made from tea bags (in line with new police policy) but continues to drink it by the gallon anyway.

** Not so much an error as deliberate artistic license, but in the discussion between Calhoun and the transport police detective Inspector Richardson, Richardson says that the City & South London railway was constructing the proposed line that was abandoned after the cave-in disaster, causing the company to go bankrupt. In the real world, the City & South London was the company that constructed London's first deep tube railway line, but it never had any involvement in construction around the Holborn-Bloomsbury area, and continued to operate until 1913, when it was taken over by the larger Underground Electric Railways of London Company.

* JurisdictionFriction: When Inspector Calhoun starts investigating Manfred's disappearance, Stratton-Villiers from [[UsefulNotes/SecretIntelligenceService MI5]] turns up to tell him there is nothing to investigate. Inspector Calhoun is secretly delighted when the cleaners are murdered at Russell Square station, as murders are definitely police business, and that they occurred at the same location as Manfred's disappearance is a happy coincidence.
