Line 14:
* [[Good Smoking, Evil Smoking]]: Nadia is quite the chain-smoker (yet another thing John wasn't expecting) but is shown merrily puffing away in a tender moment as John helps her wind her yarn for the jumper she is knitting. She does also cough a lot to remind viewers that smoking is bad.
* [[Gratuitous Russian]]: Entire scenes of it between Nadia, Yuri and Alexei - even though none of the actors, nor the writer/director spoke Russian before coming on board.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: John's co-workers at the bank are played by stalwarts of British television comedy, including [[Dirk Gently|Stephen Mangan]], [[Pointless|Alexander Armstrong]] (as Xander Armstrong) and [[Miranda|Sally Phillips]]. Birthday Girl also features [[The Armstrong and Miller Show (TV)|Ben Miller]] and a blink-and-you'll-miss-it role for [[Mark Gatiss]].
* [[Language of Love]]: Between John and Nadia. {{spoiler|Or so it seems.}}
* [[Mail Order Bride]]: Nadia
Line 23:
* {{spoiler|[[The Reveal]]: Nadia, Yuri and Alexei are con-artists, tricking lonely men into falling for Nadia and then forcing them to steal to 'protect' her. Also, Nadia can speak English. And her name isn't Nadia.}}
* [[Translator Buddy]]: Since Yuri is the only one of the Russians to speak English, he translates for his friends.
* [[Trust -Building Blunder]]: 'Trust and Letting Go', better known as the falling backwards exercise.
