- TriviaCrevecoeur Hall and the Mortmaigne family feature in The Dead of Winter (2010). It is where Sergeant Hathaway grew up, and where his father was the gardener, Phillip.

- GoofsThe enclosure shown couldn't have contained a tiger. Tigers weigh between 500-700lbs and is nearly all muscle and bone. The enclosure shown was made of light wood and chicken wire. Not only could it not have contained a tiger, even attempting to lock the tiger inside the enclosure would likely have proven to be fatal.
- Quotes
Dr. Max DeBryn: [disputing the findings of Professor Kemp] This was no punting accident. It wasn't a boat-propellor. And it wasn't Lizzie Borden!
- Crazy creditsIn the closing credits, some letters in the crew's names are red. In order, they spell out "Hounds of Love," which is a reference to the 1985 Kate Bush album. The lines "It's in the trees. It's coming." were first used in the 1957 horror film "Night of the Demon." Kate Bush used the same lines as lyrics in her album.

Featured review
Endeavour's Baskerville? Quality episode with a breathtaking climax.
Danish au pair girl Ingrid Hjort disappears, Morse and Thursday are called in to investigate. Dr Hector Lorenz is called in as her employer to answer a few questions. Strange is promoted into the role left vacant by Jakes, now Morse's superior. A body part is found in a river and on a nearby farm a young woman's live stock goes missing, suggestions are that a wild cat is the culprit, a Panther. Strange's help takes a turn for the worse.
From the very start I was gripped, the music was utterly fantastic throughout, really helped to set the tone on what was a thoroughly enjoyable mystery, clever, and brilliantly written.
I had anticipated Strange's promotion a little while ago, it seemed obvious it was going to happen, the dynamic of the show will surely change, it'll be fascinating to see how it develops.
Talk about tension in that ending, that was brilliantly conceived and achieved.
A good episode for Anton Lesser too, we got to see the human side of The Chief Super, and at the end we got to see how brave he was too, lots of character development going on for him. Anton Lesser as always was first rate. Nice to see him have a stronger role.
One you definitely needed to concentrate on, arguably a little bit heavy at times, I thought this was excellent, that ending left me with my heart in my mouth. 9/10
Damn Shame, great line.
