Game (Ashley Pearce, Remember Me). A slipper bath is a type of bath with a higher end, roll topped. This has a whiff of Deep End.
The one with the computer vs. Russian chess player. Trewlove impresses by being an expert in chess, and knowing French, Morse by knowing Russian...
DeBryn has great line. "Love and fishing. It all comes down to the same thing at the end of the day - the one that got away." But we're not sure if he's talking about Morse, or himself.
And: "I'll be able to give you furthers and betters when I've opened him up."
The line "In 1959 nobody died, in 1960, nobody died..." is in fact a reference to Steve Coogan in The Day Today!
Billets-doux = love letter.
Canticle (Michael Lennox). The one with the Mary Whitehouse / Oz trial references. Also the drug-administering doctor to Wildwood is a reference to the Beatles' drug dealer named (in the song) 'Dr. Robert'. Also the character's name, Dr. Bakshi, may well be a reference to underground animated film-maker Ralph Bakshi (Fritz the Cat).
Lazaretto (Börker Sigpórsson, Trapped, Baptiste). The grisly events in hospital Bed 10. Mantovani's 'Charmaine' opens the episode and is indeed also 'medication time' from Cuckoo's Nest.
Harvest (Jim Loach). Those Tarot snippets that we've seen at the end of each of these episodes come to light, dealt by Sheila Hancock. It's The Wicker Man episode.
