There's a humorous undercurrent throughout the episode with Edwards being irate about Charter's chair at Beadle's club; he's quite irate when he discovers that it's Mr Charter's chair by the fireplace that he's had the use of for the last five years, and upon hearing Charter will be away a few days, he tries to resume his chair, but Jenkins' stern gaze stops him. Later, he draws Jenkins' attention to the newspaper article mentioning Charter's disappearance, commenting it's a waste of a perfectly good chair when Jenkins tells him, "Yes sir, Mr Charter told me he'd be in the country for a few days."
A couple of cars make a rare appearance here - the embassy car, the Mini in Lynden's garage and Charter's (unseen) "Vogel Prentice" - a made up make of car.
PANSAC - Permanent agency for national security and counter-intelligence.
Yet another Tintin reference - in this episode, Steed prefers to read "The Secret of the Unicorn" rather than answer Mrs Gale's 'phone call (even chuckling to himself and saying 'Blistering Barnacles!' sotto voce).
