continuity and trivia
When Steed first meets Ben Jago he tells him they have the same broker, and Jago says "Charlie Bingham?" as a test. Steed looks taken aback and replies "Brian Yuill" (instead of Frederick Yuill), and Jago merely says "Never can be too careful."

Yuill causes more problems later on when he swallows while Emma examines his corpse.

Later, at the wine tasting, when Steed chooses a wine for the duel, he tastes a glass of the Latour '59 but spits most of it onto his jacket.
