- TriviaWhen the Thursday family is watching tv at the beginning, they are passing around a box of Mackintosh's Good News chocolates; Fred asks "who's had the Savoy truffle?" The famous package of chocolates was the one whose inventory is listed in the famous George Harrison song "Savoy Truffle."
- GoofsWhen Dr. De Bryn is describing the heavy drinking of the murder victim, he refers to him sarcastically as "the last of the red-hot livers", a pun on the title of Neil Simon's well-known play, "The Last Of The Red-Hot Lovers". However, this episode of "Endeavour" is set in mid-1967, and Simon's play did not open on Broadway until December of 1969.
- Quotes
DI Fred Thursday: Did you see the way the girl flinched when he put his hands on her?
DC Endeavour Morse: Yes, I saw.
DI Fred Thursday: Pot and free love, I suppose. Free love. In my experience, that's the most expensive kind there is.
- Crazy creditsDuring the closing credits, when read in order, the red letters spell out "bloater paste," which is the sandwich spread Mrs. Thursday put on her husband's sandwich. Luckily he didn't eat it, because it was probably tainted. According to cooksinfo.com, "Bloater Paste is a fish spread made from salted, smoked herrings called "bloaters", which are smoked whole with the insides still in them. A bloater has a more gamey flavour than cleaned herrings. It is sold in small jars."

A supermarket, owned by a very rich family, seems to be at the center of some bad doings. Right at the start, a young artist is killed when his apartment is set ablaze. Meanwhile, a young woman leaves the supermarket, begins to gasp and dies on the street. There is also a connection to a commune in the country. A young an seems to be the leader although he says he is merely the one who started it. In the midst, there is a kidnapping and a ransom demand. The grocery guy's daughter has been kidnapped. This man is a tyrant and is in a nasty marriage. His wife is lonely and seems to have her needs met outside the boundaries of marriage. She is attracted to Morse and comes on to him. There is a protest going on outside the store by some Rhodesian students and their sympathizers. It has to do with the purchase of Rhodesian sugar. Anyway, as is usually the case, a series of connections develop and Morse and Thursday are given the task of sorting it out.
