- TriviaWendy Toye, who directed this segment, also directed the 1950s movie version of the same story, The Stranger Left No Card (1952), which won an award at Cannes.
- Alternate versionsSome broadcasts omit the final 90 seconds, ending as The Stranger thinks to himself at the train station "Just in time for the 6:20". This totally omits him boarding the train and departing, whilst thinking to himself he has committed the perfect crime and that no-one would ever suspect he was the stranger, whilst a young boy on the newspaper stand seems to have a hint of recognition towards him.

Featured review
Early 1980s Norwich
The wonderful Derek Jacobi makes this whole episode with his brilliant performance as an eccentric magician strolling the streets of a market town entertaining everyone who happens to meet him.
Most of the episode is shot on location in the bustling streets of Norwich city centre (being that Anglia Television is located nearby) and it is great to spot the shops of yesteryear.
A nice twist as well that pays off beautifully.
