Trivia / The Frankenstein Chronicles

• Actor Allusion: Sean Bean was a producer on the series and managed to slip in several references to his past roles, most obviously Sharpe.
  • Marlott was in the 95th Rifles, and unpacks his chest from the war to reveal the iconic sword and green uniform.
  • He also keeps a treasured keepsake of his wife, a golden ring which he regards with somber introspection.
  • A bodysnatcher is heard whistling "Over The Hills And Far Away" during the first episode.
  • Marlott faces execution near the end of series 1. He doesn't make it here either, but that doesn't matter as much in this series.
  • Marlott vanishes for years, seemingly killed in the course of a secret mission for the government, only to come back and take his revenge.
  • Sir Robert Peel is played by Tom Ward, best known for playing forensic pathologist Harry Cunningham in long running crime drama Silent Witness, and is introduced during an autopsy scene. Ironically, he's rather grossed out by the whole procedure.
