YMMV / The Smoke

• Hilarious in Hindsight: Tom, the idiot who has to be rescued while hanging off the side of a skyscraper, mentions that he doesn't really believe in God. Tom's actor, Al Weaver, would soon be playing a church curate on Grantchester.
• Retroactive Recognition: Taron Egerton would become a star not long after this series thanks to Kingsman: The Secret Service.
• Spiritual Successor: Like most new British series about the Fire Brigade, The Smoke was described as a "new London's Burning".
