- The Cast Showoff: Averted, surprisingly enough. Aversions of this trope would not usually be notable, except that this show cast Julian Ovenden — an Oxford choral scholar, BBC Proms mainstay, and one of the best singers in the history of British musical theatre — as Andrew Foyle, and then didn't have him sing a note.
- The Danza: Greville Woods is played by Simon Woods in "Enemy Fire".
- Doubling for London: Most of the exteriors in the London-set series 8 are shot in Dublin.
- Fake American: Most, though not all, of the American characters are played by British actors. These included John Mahoney of Frasier, whom many people would be surprised to learn was born in Blackpool, Lancashire.
- Un-Canceled: When ITV decided to stop making the series and make two final episodes, one each for 1944 and 1945, there was rather a lot of complaints. In the event it was not only given a concluding season, ending on V-E Day, but subsequently renewed for three more seasons set in the war's aftermath.
