  • Sgt. Quick tells Leela that while he has faced some dangerous criminals in his time, "none of them hold a candle to [his] missus in a temper."
  • Although Professor Claudius Dark claims to know Jago and Litefoot, Jago comments that he has never seen him before "sober, anyway" whereas Litefoot likewise states that they never had met "sobriety notwithstanding".
  • Leela tells Jago and Litefoot that she is "obliged" to stay in the 1890s.
  • Jago first met Gypsy Nancy Lee while he was the proprietor of the Palace Theatre in the 1880s. He attempted to engage her for a season in the theatre but she preferred to stay in Brighton.
  • 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 of Jago's parents are dead. His mother claimed that he "had all the grace of a bull in a china shop."
  • Both George Nevil and his fiancée Mary Elizabeth Reilly were killed in a freak snowstorm in Brighton on 14 August 1887, which was predicted by Gypsy Nancy Lee. Mary's spirit was trapped in a mirror in the fairground whereas George's ghost, who did not realise that he was dead, wandered around Brighton looking for her.
  • Abigail Woburn was engaged by Mr Kempston and Mr Hardwick to try and separate Jago from Litefoot and Leela.
