* Arthur's attitude towards Gordon raises some very unsettling suspicions. Gordon is, apart from aunt Ruth, the only person Arthur shows true disdain towards and it terrifies him when Gordon is just near him, let alone anything else. He violently opposes Gordon having Gertie because of the way he would treat her. [[NightmareFuel How horribly did he treat Arthur and Caroline for him to be so terrified?]]
* The 'Happy ending' of Zurich results in MJN Air getting a big windfall of money. Great right? Except Carolin's had money before and not made MJN a going concern. How long until they've spent all that and are right back in the 'next disaster will end the company!' scenario once again.
** But in the divorce she got Arthur, the house and GERTI, but no money. Now she still has all those things, plus about £17m in gold (worked out by someone with WAY too much time on their hands), so they'll be perfectly alright.
*** In fact Carolyn says in "Douz" that she did get a lot of money in the divorce but lost it running MJN. But getting the [[spoiler:gold wiring]] out of GERTI means she'll fly a lot better and more fuel-efficiently, and also leaves plenty of money to fix any other problems she's picked up over the years, invest in better marketing and whatever else they can do to reduce costs and generate revenue. And "Yverdon-les-Bains" confirms that Mr Alyakhin has indeed become a regular client, which will help.

** Possibly Carolyn doesn't trust Arther to keep a cat alive. And it can't go in the cockpit, since we learn in "Ottery St. Mary" that Martin is such a stickler he won't even allow a *hypothetical* otter up there.

* In "Limerick", Arthur, who is terrible at the NATO phonetic alphabet, immediately knows that G is Golf when asked. This makes much more sense when you realise that G is part of GERTI's name, and Arthur would have heard Martin and Douglas using her NATO phonetic alphabet name Golf Echo Romeo Tango India (as they do in the series) several times. Martin and Douglas just never asked him E, R, T, or I.

** And earlier in the same episode, when Martin hints that F is "a type of dance," Arthur immediately says "TANGO!"

the seems to fit better in brilliance as it's an explanation than logic which is for headscratchers

* In Gdansk, Carolyn confidently says the Disney character Goofy is a cartoon cow. Arthur corrects her that he's a dog. In Zurich, we find out Arthur's drawings of Goofy are completely unidentifiable - maybe his mum was remembering one of those?

* In Zurich, Carolyn's ringtone is "Questa o quella" from Rigoletto - the opera she and Herc went to on their second date. The lyrics are appropriate, being the words of [[TheCasanova a ladykiller unfazed by a challenging conquest.]] And this date marked the moment where Herc turned from TheCasanova into LadykillerInLove.

*** 'Going to a lot of trouble for no better reason than being a smart arse' is pretty much Douglas's middle name though. Like the smuggling thing - he seems less interested in monetary gain than a compulsive need to cheat and win.

*** 'Going to a lot of trouble for no better reason than being a smart arse' is pretty much Douglas's middle name though. Like the smuggling thing - he seems less interested in monetary gain than a compulsive need to cheat and win. He also has the motivation until “Edinburgh” of wanting to disguise his teetotal-ness. He might just sell the bottles to an acquaintance to make a few quid too.
