Added DiffLines:

* RealLifeWritesTheHairstyle: The beginning scene was shot 18 months after the earlier part of the scene in "[[Recap/SherlockS01E03TheGreatGame The Great Game]]". On closer observation, it can be seen that Creator/BenedictCumberbatch's face is a bit fuller and Creator/MartinFreeman is wearing a wig.


Added DiffLines:

* WriteWhatYouKnow: According to the DVDCommentary, producer Sue Vertue was at a funeral when someone's cellphone went off. It was, most inappropriately, playing "Staying Alive" by Music/TheBeeGees. When her husband, Creator/StevenMoffat, heard this he decided it was the perfect ringtone for Moriarty.

* SpoiledByTheMerchandise: The big reveal of this episode is that Irene's phone password is "SHER", which causes her phone screen to read "[[{{Pun}}I AM SHER LOCKED]]". However, this is one of the most popular prints in the fandom for shirts and other merchandise, meaning that, if you've so much as seen a fan with such merchandise before in passing before seeing this episode, you'll already know what the password is long before Sherlock figures it out.

-->'''John''': Who the hell knows about Sherlock Holmes, but for the record — if [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall anyone out there]] ''still cares'' — I'm not actually gay.
** When Sherlock and Irene first meet, one of her first comments is about his razor-sharp cheekbones, saying she could cut herself slapping that face. Those cheekbones have their own little fandom.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Sherlock knows that Lestrade just returned from holiday because of his tan. In real life, Rupert Graves was tan because he had just returned from Guadeloupe while filming Death in Paradise (2011). His tan was written into the script.

* ActorAllusion: Sherlock talks of the 'myth' about the Allies knowing about the Coventry bombing and still letting it happen so that they don't disclose that they have cracked the Enigma code. In the movie ''Film/TheImitationGame'' (2014), Creator/BenedictCumberbatch plays UsefulNote/AlanTuring who cracked the Enigma code and has to make the decision to let a British cruiser be bombed for the reason stated above.
** Purely coincidence since this episode was first broadcasted in January of 2012 and the casting for "The Imitation Game" was done in December of 2012.

* EnforcedMethodActing: Lara Pulver caused quite a stir when she admitted that during the scene where Irene Adler was naked in front of Sherlock, she really wasn't wearing anything. One wonders how much of Martin and Benedict's reactions were genuine.
