What sort of hunters are Steed and Emma anyway? At the beginning (4:15) Steed shoots at wood pigeons and at the end Emma shoots at the same, both of them expecting to bring down ducks.

The aeroplane seems to change a bit. On the ground, it's a Handley-Page Herald, but it has new livery in one shot in the air; and in another it's become a low-winged craft! Consensus is that the aeroplane used in the episode was a twin engined Handley-Page Herald, probably about to be sold by BEA to Global Air, as all the livery has been painted out. The cockpit used in some scenes was taken from a Trident 1, probably also BEA. |

| There's a continuity error when the plane's taking off (10:10) - Steed and Mrs Wild fasten themselves into their seats, then they're peering out the portholes, then they're back in their seats again, all in the twinkling of an eye! |  |

Who removed the chocks from the 'plane so it could take off? (9:59)
The house is dilapidated, has no out-size playing cards, but is otherwise identical to the house in The Joker.
The invitation to the party asks the guests to assemble at Clements Airport.
About those invitations: Steed was invited by Sir George Robertson DSO CBE KCB, Hana Wilde had been invited by Mark Walters, Joe Smith by Jack Peters, Max Hardy by Lance Quilley, Freddy Richards by Charlie Reed, Jason Wade by Alfred Williams (although we know he was actually there at Jessel's behest), and Mark Dayton was invited by "a man called Godfrey".
Steed says to Wade, revealed as the killer, "You were with me when Smith was killed". - but he wasn't! Everyone bar the dead Freddy and Smith were in the house, it's true, but when Smith is actually killed, Steed is search the woods, alone. (On the other hand, he was with him when Hardy was killed, so perhaps it was a late script change or an ad lib by Macnee).
