- TriviaAt the beginning Morse walks past a large billboard advertising "Grimsby Pilchards" and featuring Diana Day, the beauty-queen character from the previous episode,"Trove". This billboard will feature in future episodes, too.
- GoofsWhen Endeavour is explaining to Thursday how he knows that Terence Black is the killer he describes the coat of arms Weiss was creating for Black. He says: "It was unnamed, but it included various clues in the form of rebuses, heraldic jokes which would suggest it was meant for Terence Black. The escutcheon is sable, the heraldic term for "black". In the upper sinister quadrant is a pick-axe, or pick, while the lower dexter quadrant contains flowers of the genus Matthiola longipetela, also known as stocks." But when we see the coat of arms the pick-axe is in the upper-left from our point-of-view which is the Dexter side - similarly the stock is bottom-right which is the Sinister side. Sides are named from point-of-view of the bearer of the shield - not the viewer.

Featured review
Maybe the best episode so far, inspired by Genesis' The Musical Box
Other reviewers have already said about the plot so I'll just point out the several references to Genesis and their masterpiece "The Musical Box".
The episode begins with a murder, committed by a little girl with a Croquet bat in the English countryside.
The Musical Box tells of a Victorian girl killing her playmate with a croquet bat.
Shortly after the start, a Musical Box is seen.
The family around which everything revolves is called Blaise-Hamilton.
In "The Musical Box" the homicidal girl is called Cynthia Jane De Blaise-William and the victim Henry Hamilton-Smythe.
There are several references to Lewis Carrol, which Mad Hatter was the logo of Charisma, the Genesis then record company.
Two of the girls are respectively called Philippa Collins and Stephanie Hackett.
Phil Collins and Steve Hackett are two members of Genesis
Other two girls are called Antonia and Edwina.
The former Genesis guitarist, co-author of The Musical Box, is Antony Edwin Phillips 😉
