S1E4

When the guys find an atom bomb in the kitchen, Rick wants to use it to blackmail Thatcher, while Vyvyan tries to set it off. Meanwhile, the TV-detector man shows up...

*Although set in north London exteriors were filmed in Bristol. This is explicit here when a street sign for Codrington Road is clearly seen; the only Codrington Road in the UK is in Bristol.

Twin Peaks (1990–1991) Traces to Nowhere

S1E2

Agent Cooper enjoys the comforts of the Great Northern Hotel. Bobby Briggs and Mike Nelson are released from jail. Doctor Hayward hands over the autopsy report on Laura Palmer.

*The fact that there was a year's gap between the filming of Northwest Passage (1989) and this one is evident in the different hairstyles sported by some of the cast. Although they take place on consecutive days, James Hurley, Sheriff Truman, and Deputy Brennan all have shorter haircuts by the next day, while Donna Hayward, Catherine Martell and Audrey Horne (in particular) all have noticeably longer hair.

Locke & Key (2020) The Black Door

S1E6

Kinsey's fixation on the Drowning Cave (and the locked door in back of it) puts the lives of the Savini Squad at risk. Nina, unhappy with Det. Matuku ruling Joe's death a suicide, confronts Ellie, getting on her bad side. Kinsey's effort to jog Uncle Duncan's memory results in a migraine. Whispers lead Bode to another Key but doesn't reveal what it does. Tyler's irresponsible actions drive Jackie away. After enabling Sam to escape prison, Echo seduces one of the Locke children.

*The "Mending Key" is in the form of the caduceus, the symbol often used to represent medicine, especially in the USA, hence its "healing" power. ( It is actually the symbol of Hermes, the more correct symbol for medicine is the Rod of Asclepius, which is a single snake twined about a staff).

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012) The Green Mill Murder

S1E3

Phryne Fisher's evening at the hottest jazz club in Melbourne, The Green Mill, is interrupted by a sudden death on the dance floor. Phryne must take to the skies in a biplane to solve a murder that involves hot jazz and a man from her own past.

*The biplane used in this episode (and correctly identified in the script) is a De Havilland Tiger Moth. The characters state that the airplane had been in a hangar "for years." The given year for this series is 1928; this is rather impossible as the Tiger Moth's first flight was on 26th October 1931.

Berlin Alexanderplatz (1980) Ein Hammer auf den Kopf kann die Seele verletzen

E3

Our hero Franz Biberkopf tries to live from selling shoelaces going from door to door. Here he accidentally runs into his old lover Eva, which makes him so overwhelmed that he runs to the nearest flower shop and says something along the lines of: "I want to buy flowers that should express that the past just keeps following you; and days go by driving you on and on to a place where there is no future." [Or as paraphrased by Laurie Anderson: "Days go by Endlessly. And they just keep going by endlessly; Endlessly pulling you Into the future."] And the florist answers: "White Carnations" - the flower of death. And instead, Frantz buys red roses - and walks to another woman he has met along the route...

Elizabeth Montgomery and Agnes Moorehead in Bewitched (1964) Be It Ever So Mortgaged

S1E2

Despite it being a stretch on his and Samantha's finances, Darrin finds a house for them to purchase, which irks Endora, who doesn't understand why Samantha would agree to such Earthly confines. Regardless, on Samantha's urging, Endora accompanies her to view the house, which is unfurnished, and as it is newly built, the property is not landscaped. Endora sees the situation as being drab, while Samantha sees it as a blank canvass upon which she and Darrin, using their hard earned mortal cash, can buy the necessary furniture and seeds/plants to make the house their home. But that doesn't stop both Samantha and Endora using a little witchcraft to experiment with both exterior and interior design options. Their witchcraft causes a bit of an issue with Samantha and Darrin's potential neighbor, the busybody Gladys Kravitz, who sees a landscaped yard and furnished interior, and then not.

*Endora reads a magazine, entitled "Harpies Bizarre" - a play on the magazine 'Harper's Bazaar'.

Tuppence Middleton in Sense8 (2015) Death Doesn't Let You Say Goodbye

S1E9

Riley learns about her new life and its dangers, Kala deals with the aftermath of the attack on Rajan's father, and Lito's world spins out of control.

*This episode's title plays such a profound part in the plot and back stories of quite a few of the characters. It also captures a couple other characters fears as they sit beside a loved one's hospital bed. When Riley is reminiscing about her past, she says to Capheus, "Death doesn't let you say goodbye," she goes on further to explain, "it just carved holes in your life...your future...in your heart."
