- Aluminium Christmas Trees: The anti-Semitic content and gleeful violence of Donald Moncrieff's Doctor Shade stories in "The Original Dr. Shade" may seem exaggerated, but it's an accurate reflection of the content of some of the work of "Sapper" (best known for the Bulldog Drummond series), and of the even more extremist (and consequently now largely forgotten) Sydney Horler.
- Complete Monster: Has its own page.
- Unintentional Period Piece: Newman has acknowledged that his Sally Rhodes stories have become unintentional period pieces; the character is just as tied to The '80s (or very early nineties) as Edwin Winthrop (an intentional period piece) is to The Roaring '20s. "Organ Donors" features references to the poll tax, seven satellite TV channels, the ITV bidding war, and a "portable phone" as being a big deal.
