The late Ailish Hurley, who appears as the waitress serving coffee to Morse and Dr Sandra Harrison at the Randolph Hotel, Oxford, was in real life the manager of the hotel's bar. She was also a friend of Colin Dexter who encouraged him to continue with the Morse books. During filming, the production team and stars of Inspector Morse usually stayed at the Randolph Hotel, and Dexter arranged for Ailish (like him) to play a cameo role in The Remorseful Day.

Season 7 Episode 3: Twilight of the Gods
ADD TRIVIA
A viewer in Norway writes:
"In Twilight of the Gods Morse refers to a library as "the libary". This is a pronunciation-mistake I don't believe Colin Dexter would approve. Or perhaps it was deliberate? Morse is quite a moody, shifty person, but he's certainly prudent on spelling and grammar."
