For many British Case Closed fans, the show's airing on CBBC from 2002 to 2007, when it was moved to BBC3, is what introduced them to it. This episode aired in mid-August 2002, when the show was still being aired daily on CBBC, a couple of weeks before The Last Wizard of the Century was aired on the August Bank Holiday. The success of Case Closed paved the way for the BBC to enter the anime market, with Lupin III (Red Jacket) (BBC2), Lucky Star, Azumanga Daioh and K-On! (all CBBC) making their way to Britain, along with a new dub of Castle of Cagliostro in 2005, which was much more faithful to the original script and utilised the cast of Red Jacket, along with Jason Isaacs as the Count of Cagliostro.
The scene in question won Brina Pallencia a special award at the BAFTA Children's Awards, and, in Britain, is still considered to be the show's saddest moment.

Junior Senator Peter Camejo speaks to a crowd of students, 1970. Camejo, a half-Venezuelan progressive, championed workers rights, the anti-war effort, civil rights and environmental protection form the early outset, and was likened to the late JFK in his sense of youthful invigoration. He would later be poached for a position in the McGovern administration, and go on to win the presidency ten years later alongside his VP Harvey Milk.

That reminds me of what I originally thought Black Mirror was about.
When I heard the title, I thought the show was about a parallel universe where everyone had the opposite race.
That...is actually something I would like to see.
How would you factor in races other than black and white, though?
I dunno. The show would probably be a commentary on stuff like racism and like, police brutality.

A poster of the Australian rock band INXS' hit album "Save My Life". Lead singer Michael Hutchence, who was suffering through depression, had attempted suicide on the 22 of November 1997. After being found and resuscitated by a maid at the hotel he was staying in, he was rushed to hospital. The following year, INXS would release "Save My Life", the title song having been written by Hutchence prior to his suicide attempt. The money the album made would be donated to suicide prevention charities.
It would be the last album released by Hutchence before going to rehab in 1999.
