Rise of the Blue Beetle! - S1-E1
Trivia: Near the beginning, when Paco is flipping through the stations, you see a stand-up comedian and he says "it's called The Aristocrats." This is the punchline to one of the world's dirtiest jokes. The closed caption (on the HBO MAX version) says "to get to the other side."
Trivia: The blue Ford Cortina squad car seen in series 1 and 2 has the reg number NHK 296M. Sometimes it is fitted with a false number DLO 97M on the front (as has been noted as a mistake). The programme makers had been supplied with two cars from Ford, this Cortina and a Consul GT. The Cortina was fitted with this false plate to make the squad look like it had more cars, and only one number plate (the white front one) was made up to keep costs down, as the Sweeney had a small budget. In the series 3 episode "Pay Off" DLO 97M is on a white Cortina, in series three the same Triumph 2000 is seen with number plates TPA 931N and UUV 931N - again it is the same car with different number plates.
Trivia: When Leo Getz gets the "check" from Trish, he says "is this a joke?" He goes on to say lines very similar to Joe Pesci's lines in "Goodfellas." Joe Pesci played Leo Getz in the Lethal Weapon films.
Trivia: Bradley Walsh had never seen the original American series before being offered his role.
Trivia: Lieutenant Decker is the same Decker from The A-Team TV show.
Trivia: Aside from his considerable talent and theatrical qualifications, the reason that Jeremy Brett's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes was so nuanced, meticulous and authentic is because the role was therapeutic to him. In real life, all throughout the various Granada Television series (from 1984 to 1994), Brett was plagued with manic-depression, erratic behavior and heart problems, from which he fatalistically felt he would never recover. Immersing himself in the mentally-disciplined character of Sherlock Holmes gave Brett much-needed focus and clarity in the last ten years of his life.
Trivia: This is the first Power Rangers season that wasn't dubbed in Japanese.
Trivia: While Camille is in severe distress back at Crellin Manor, a pensive Willis examines the interior of the sensor bar, trusting his subconscious to sense a clue. One of the things his eyes pass over is a bumper sticker with two American flags, originally stuck to the underside of the moveable piece of the bar top. Thus, the flags on the sticker are upside down, a sign for distress.
The Hustlers News of the Day - S3-E5
Trivia: In some versions of this episode the name of the newspaper the grifters con has been rather clumsily dubbed over as "The Weekend World" rather than the original "The Sunday World", which is a real newspaper.
Trivia: Camryn Manheim uses sign language with her client, played by Marlee Matlin. Before becoming an actress, Camryn Manheim actually worked as a sign language interpreter and job trainer/placement specialist for the deaf. She also used her sign language skills in an episode of "Law and Order" called "Benevolence," where she portrayed a defense attorney for a deaf man accused of murdering his girlfriend.
Trivia: In an homage to the king of Hawaii-based cop shows, Hawaii Five-O, Don Ho tells MacBride and Ryan at the end that if they ever break up his night club again, he's going to call McGarrett. Ryan gives MacBride a baffled look and just before the freeze-frame, queries, "Who's McGarrett?"
Trivia: R.D. Wingfield, author of the book "Frost" on which the series is based, hated the show.
Trivia: The fuel station features metal miniblinds in several scenes. These did not become available until the early 1940s and would aluminium be diverted from airplane production to blinds?
Trivia: Ben Barnes plays Frank Castle's friend Billy Russo. In Stardust he played the father of Charlie Cox, who plays Daredevil in another Marvel/Netflix series.
The Trial of Audrey Parker - S1-E11
Trivia: When Audrey is looking for a secret compartment in the bookcase, you can see a copy of "The Tommyknockers." This is a Stephen King novel that's set in the town of Haven.
