* [[Insufferable Genius]] - Burnside is a draconian boss, but superhumanly dedicated to his job and the safety of his agents. Likewise, he regularly lies to his superiors and schemes under their noses, but he's just that good at deception, and it usually serves the interest of the Service.

* [[Interservice Rivalry]] - SIS and [[MI 5]] don't get along.

'''Burnside:''' Nobody has friends in Five. }}

* [[Knight Templar]] - Burnside does not hesitate to take matters in his own hands and has a fanatical anti-Communist streak.

* [[Spy Fiction]] - Extremely Stale Beer.
