Trivia

Before the plane lands in London, Jessica places a phone call to Inspector Crimmins at Scotland Yard. She had previously worked with Crimmins in the episode Sing a Song of Murder. (edit)
Goof: At the end of the episode there are some scenes supposedly at Heathrow Airport. In the background there is a sign leading to "Ground Transportation". The word transportation is rarely used in the UK and would never be seen at any airport. Transport is the word which is used. (edit)
