What's left behind the scenes
- The names of some characters—at least Magnus (played by Ian Glen), Hutton (Owen Teale), Murchison (Stuart McCurry), and Dunlin (Richard Pepple)—are actually the names of oil fields in the North Sea west of Norway.
- Marc Bonnell's character reads the book "The Kraken Wakes" by John Wyndham (1903-1969). First published in July 1953, the novel tells the story of an attack on humanity by aliens who can only exist under immense pressure, and therefore base themselves on Earth only in the deepest parts of the ocean.
