Heh. I didn't discover until years later that Judi Dench and the man who played the admiral in the pre-credits sequence ("sometimes, M, I don't think you have the balls for this job") had played a grumpy married couple for years on A Popular Television Program prior to being cast opposite each other in that scene. :)
