- Cast the Runner-Up: Hugh Laurie wanted to play the title character - he had hoped to play it when trying to get the rights to the novel in the 1990's - but Susanne Bier convinced him he was more suited to play Richard Roper.
- Hide Your Pregnancy: Mostly averted with Olivia Colman's character, since Angela actually is pregnant, but in the early sequences that take place a few years earlier than the main plot, she is shown working in an office where the heating has broken down and is therefore bundled up in warm clothes, hiding her real-life bump.
- Throw It In!: Olivia Colman was pregnant at the time of shooting, ergo Angela Burr is pregnant in the series.
- What Could Have Been: A movie version was touted around in the mid-1990s. Le Carre' was hoping to cast Daniel Day-Lewis and Julia Roberts.
