Leela states that ghosts are a primitive belief.
There were numerous productions of Hamlet at the New Regency Theatre, including one starring Sarah Bernhardt.
At 11:39am on 22 May 1988, the eight-year-old Alice was paralysed from the waist down when a Range Rover crashed into her parents' car. Her parents were killed in the accident.
Swan Lake was first performed at the New Regency Theatre some time after Jago's death. It was a huge success, selling out the theatre for months.
The New Regency Theatre was destroyed in the Blitz at 8:47 p.m. on 12 October 1940, by which time Jago was long dead.

This is the first Jago & Litefoot audio drama in which Ellie Higson (Lisa Bowerman) does not appear as well as the only one to feature scenes based in the present day.
