If one character calls another to say turn on the news, the news broadcast will be showing the precise start of the relevant news story, even though the other character already knew about it
If you are tangentially connected to British murder, you will be called to a public summation by the Inspector where they will run through and dismiss all red herrings and then tell you who did it and why, the guilty party will then confess
