Agatha uses the under cover name of Mary Westmacott in the drama. The real Agatha Christie published 6 novels under this name between 1930 and 1956: The Rose and the Yew Tree, the Burden, Absent in the Spring, Giant's Bread, Unfinished Portrait and a Daughter's Daughter.
The opening card states that the details of Agatha Christie's disappearance on 3 December 1926 have never been revealed. She was found 10 days later at a spa in the country registered as Mrs Tressa Neele (the surname of her husband's lover). Speculation as to her state of mind during this time remains a mystery; with some believing she was suffering temporary amnesia, or deliberately trying to embarrass her husband even to the point of framing him for her murder, or simply hiding. The incident was not mentioned by Christie in her autobiography.
The book that Agatha reads to Rosalind is R.U.R. by Karel Capek, published in 1920; this book is credited with introducing the word "robot" to the English language.
The framed copy of 'The Daily Sketch' in Agatha's study makes reference to Henry Segrave: famous racing driver and land speeds record holder. Segrave was a contemporary of Agatha Christie and like her husband Archie, a member of the Suicide Club (the name given to Royal Flying Corps pilots during WW1).
Randolph states that he served in the Great War, but worked in administration. Tim McInnerny (Randolph) played pencil-pusher Captain Darling in Blackadder Goes Forth (1989).
"[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has told Agatha Christie that he once suffered from writer's block and cured it by designing a golf course, and recommends that Agatha should do the same when she asks his advice because her readers are guessing the identity of the culprits in her books. She consults Sir Hugh Persimmion, an expert on golf course design] Agatha Christie: I want to design a golf course. Sir Hugh Persimmion: I see. Really? Agatha Christie: Yes. Sir Hugh Persimmion: Well, in that case, I'm afraid my answer's quite short. You can't. Agatha Christie: Excuse me? Sir Hugh Persimmion: [patronisingly] There isn't a golf club I know that would commission a design from a woman. I understand there has been a trend of late for ladies to golf. But really, the sheer complexity of a designer's task is beyond the capabilities of a woman. No matter how capable that woman is. Agatha Christie: [smiling ingratiatingly] I see. I hadn't realised. But thinking about it, how could I have been so stupid? Imagine a woman being able to design the preamble to putting something small in a hole. A woman might just present the hole and have done. And where would be the fun in that? There'd be nothing to groom, for a start. [she stands up] Agatha Christie: [still smiling sweetly] Thank you for your time. It's been pointless. [Sir Hugh looks nonplussed as he realises that Agatha's charming "climbdown" and farewell were actually intended to be highly insulting - and highly suggestive as well]"
"Agatha Christie: What if Sherlock Holmes had never existed? Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: Good riddance to an intolerable dick."
