• The fictional detective has developed four classic archetypes: the Uber Rational such as Sherlock Holmes, the Intuitive like Miss Marple, the Philip Marlowe style Loner and the Normal, usually serving police officers, most famously depicted in Georges Simenon's Maigret. Matilda and her Aunts each represent a different detective archetype: Jane, the Uber Rational, Beth, the Intuitive, Cat, the Loner and Matilda, the Normal; each bringing with them different methods of solving crime.

• Matilda's beloved car, a 1960's Morris Minor Traveller, is owned by one of the show's producers, Tim Vaughan.

• Many of the shops and businesses in the show have names based around literary puns such as The Crepe Gatsby Restaurant, Flight Club Travel Agents, The Sound & The Fury Records, The Call to Arms Arms Public House and The Donquix Hotel
