* HilariousInHindsight: In a Series One episode, Sam jokes that he's asked Series/DoctorWho about the time travel situation. Creator/JohnSimm's other big role in a BBC drama would turn that into retroactive CelebrityParadox.

* {{Anvilicious}}: Clearly one of the writers doesn't like football hooligans, as made especially clear by Sam's post-arrest speech about what football is about.
** Specifically, his speech is about football hooligans necessitating increased security measures at football grounds, which leads to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillsborough_disaster Hillsborough disaster]] in 1989, which left 96 Liverpool fans dead.
** A writer having a particular beef is {{jossed}} by the commentary track. The episode's writer, Tony Jordan, describes the episode coming from brainstorming parts of life that has changed significantly between early 70s culture and the present day and shows no special passion for the subject.

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: The series was initially rejected by Creator/TheBBC and took nearly a decade to get greenlit. Creator/JohnSimm thought the idea was ludicrous upon reading the script.



** Gene Hunt himself in the second episode (see JerkassHasAPoint above). Technically Hunt should ''not'' be framing Kim Trent, but at least it would have kept him off the streets.
