  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Both versions of the play were recorded and aired in theaters around the world in 2011 and re-released in 2012. Despite the fact that Danny Boyle directed it and it's Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller, the National Theatre says it will not release it on DVD as it would not have the same experience.
    • However, it was given another release in American cinemas in late 2013, and yet another in 2014, on Halloween week due to popular demand.
    • As of 30th April 2020, both versions have been released on Youtube, on National Theatre's own page, to help keep interest in the arts during the COV-19 pandemic.
  • Sleeper Hit: Out of all the plays shown in cinemas as part of the National Theatre Live program this has to be the most popular; it keeps getting a rerelease in cinemas every year after its intial debut in 2011, and there have been constant requests for the filmed versions to be put on home video.
