ADD ALLUSIONS-
Throughout the episode there are numerous references to Dickens:
The guillotine cigar cutter is a reference to A Tale of Two Cities.
When Steed receives the box containing his fancy dress costume Mrs. Peel comments, I hope it's little Nell. This is an allusion to the character from The Old Curiosity Shop.
The Hall of Great Expectations is a mock up of Mrs. Havisham's cobwebbed covered shrine.
The Mirror Room is a reference to Dickens' personal obsession with mirrors. -
There is an ironical allusion to the James Bond film 'Goldfinger' in this episode.

Steed receives a postcard from Cathy Gale purporting to come from Fort Knox. See episode trivia.
