* YouLookFamiliar: The series has so far taken the same attitude toward casting as ''Lewis'', meaning that while guest actors aren't re-used as different characters in this series, actors who've previously appeared in ''Inspector Morse'' or ''Lewis'' can be brought back in different parts to what they originally played.
** Notably, "Rocket" has guest appearances by Martin Jarvis (who appeared in ''Morse'') and Jenny Seagrove (who appeared in ''Lewis'').
** For that matter, Roger Allam had previously played Denis Cornford in the ''Morse'' episode "Death Is Now My Neighbour".
** James Wilby, who appears in "Neverland", also stars in an episode of ''Lewis''.
