* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
** Is Revie a SmugSnake or RivalTurnedEvil?
** Is Taylor a HypercompetentSidekick or someone with limited skill sets, particularly by being able to find great players and bring the best out of Clough?
** Is Clough too full of {{Pride}} to see his mistakes, someone obsessed with getting one over a [[NotCheatingUnlessYouGetCaught blatant cheat]] or simply someone who loses his bearings after too many changes?
** The book is more ambiguous towards how we should see the characters, particularly because of the UnreliableNarrator aspect and by delving deeper into Clough's character.
* QuestionableCasting: While Creator/MichaelSheen and Creator/ColmMeaney are uncanny in their portrayals of Clough and Revie respectively, Creator/TimothySpall, while a fine actor, does not look or sound remotely like Peter Taylor (the real Taylor is seen in archive footage at the end).
