Trivia

The props department snuck many Doctor Who references into the Peter Vincent apartment set (for example, Gallifreyen writing - the Doctor's native language - on certain items), as a homage to actor David Tennant, who was playing Peter Vincent and previously played The Doctor. The majority of these references are not visible to the audience. See more »

Goofs

Audio/visual unsynchronized: When "Jerry" tries starts the motorcycle outside the house to chase the fleeing car... The motorcycle is a Honda "XL250S" Engine which is a four stroke but it sounds like a "TWO STROKE". See more »
