FlyingLion:

Ferdinand the Seagull is named after the famous explorer Ferdinand Magellan whose expedition traveled the entire globe. The idea for Sherlock to hunt down a seagull was inspired by the premiere of Elementary Season 2 where Sherlock of that series hunts down a pigeon in central park. It was a great episode and a nice way to get my dose of Sherlock Holmes while waiting for season 3 of Sherlock.

The CIA/MI5 bits are somewhat inspired by the upcoming movie The Fifth Estate in which Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Julian Assange. I'm looking forward to the movie and 12 Years a Slave which will be pretty awesome.
