** Anathema's warm woollen cloak and reliable bicycle may be a shout-out to Margaret Rutherford's portrayal of the medium Madame Arcati in the 1945 movie version of ''Theatre/BlitheSpirit''. Or else to the everyday working jobbing Witches of the Literature/{{Discworld}} - warm unglamorous cloaks and reliable, although not very fast, broomsticks.

* AngelsInOvercoats: There is a deliberate spoof of the spy thriller trope of agents from various secret services having clandestine meetings in anonymous garb while, for example, feeding the ducks in a London park. In the midst of a duck-feeding session attended by overcoated members of MI5, the CIA, the KGB, Mossad and others, we see Aziraphale (angel) and Crowley (demon) trying to look as inconspicuous as the rest...

* FreudianExcuse: Newton suggests that this is why his ancestor had been a Witchfinder, because having to be called "Adultery Pulsifer" all the time would have made him want to hurt a lot of other people. Anathama shrugs this off and says he was probably just an ordinary misogynist.

* GreedyTelevangelist: The angel Aziraphale possesses various people at random while attempting to get to Tadfield and avert the apocalypse. One of the people is an evangelist on live TV telling his audience only the faithful will be saved and everyone else will burn and spends approximately forty-five minutes of each hour cajoling, begging, and threatening people to send money. Unfortunately for him, Aziraphale decides to set the record straight, explaining that Heaven honestly doesn?t care what happens to anyone and scolds the man for thinking the idea of sneering down at all the people who supposedly won't be saved is justifiable.
