* When discussing how the [[United Kingdom|British]] do not like to boast of their achievements, the Doctor and Clara mention how the [[Victorian era|Victorians]] invented powered lights and indoor powered flight, although the [[Wright Brothers]] in [[Kittyhawk]] in America took the credit for inventing the first ''outdoor'' powered flight. [[Computer]]s were also invented by the British during the Second World War but kept a secret from the public for decades afterwards. | * When discussing how the [[United Kingdom|British]] do not like to boast of their achievements, the Doctor and Clara mention how the [[Victorian era|Victorians]] invented powered lights and indoor powered flight, although the [[Wright Brothers]] in [[Kittyhawk]] in America took the credit for inventing the first ''outdoor'' powered flight.

* At no point in the novel is Vastra and Jenny's [[marriage]] explicitly referenced, and indeed even in private Jenny still refers to her wife as "Madame". Jenny is also depicted as flirting with a male character, though it's unclear if this is a ruse to get information. However, a scene also features Jenny commenting on [[Silhouette (Silhouette)|Silhouette]]'s attractiveness, whilst Vastra refers to Jenny as "dear" in another scene. | * At no point in the novel is Vastra and Jenny's [[marriage]] explicitly referenced, and indeed even in private Jenny still refers to her wife as "Madame".
