			This episode was based on a realife news event. The [[Siege of Sidney Street\|Seige of Sydney Street]] was a real siege that took place in London, in January 1911.

			A gang of [[Latvia\|Latvian]] immigrant jewel thieves killed three policemen during the robbery of a jewellery shop.

			Two weeks later a Mrs. Gershwin of 100 Sidney Street reported to the police that three men matching the description of those wanted had hired a room at her house. The men, sensing they had been betrayed, deprived the landlady of her skirt and boots on the assumption that no religious [[Jews\|Jewess]] would attempt to escape not properly attired. She did.

While the London Fire Brigade were damping down the ruins—in which they found the two bodies—the building collapsed, killing a fireman.

			The siege marked the first time the police had requested military assistance in London to deal with an armed stand-off. It was also the first siege in Britain to be caught on camera, as the events were filmed by [[Pathé News]].
