• Jago first met Gypsy Nancy Lee while she was the proprietor of the Palace Theatre in the 1880s.
• Litefoot tells Leela that Queen Victoria apparently hated staying in the Royal Pavilion in Brighton as she felt exposed to the public gaze. She therefore decided to sell the royal residence to Brighton for £53,000.
• Abigail Woburn wears a "theatrical" wig as she suffers from alopecia areata.
• Jago refers to the serialised adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson by Arthur Conan Doyle featured in The Strand magazine. He believes that he and Litefoot are the inspiration for the characters.

• Both George Nevil and his fiancée Mary Elizabeth Reilly were killed in a freak snowstorm in Brighton on 14 August 1887.
