This is such a remarkably atmospheric episode that the muddled plot about an unknown faction attempting to deliberately create a fishing crisis is easily overlooked. The shadowy visuals and subtle sounds of ghostly bagpipes are so creepy that it gives you goose bumps... and Emma traipsing about the castle in her nightgown is a sight not soon forgotten.
The iron maiden is a doppelganger! She makes a reappearance in "Murdersville." Acronym Alert: ABORCASHAATA is the Advisory Bureau on Refurbishing Castles and Stately Homes as a Tourist Attraction.
Allington Castle doubled for Castle De'ath.
When Steed and Emma retire to her room to discuss the reason they came to Castle De'Ath, Emma finds a miniature bagpipe, which she plays whilst Steed practices "hopscotch."
Finding an injured Emma, Ian leaves her in Steed's tender care. Emma whimpers, and Steed tells her, "Lean on me, Mistress Peel, as much as you like."
