Yep, I saw Jekyll -- by Stephen Moffat. Rather liked it. Actually, I've seen Coupling (Moffat's sitcom), Jekyll, Sherlock, and Doctor Who. I apparently like Moffat's writing quite a bit. (Not so much Mark Gatiss).
I know as a writer myself that I make references to thinks without often realizing what I'm doing. I think metaphorically, not literally, and write intuitively...so my references often aren't planned, but they are there all the same.
And I think this is true of many writers. Some like James Joyce, Elmore Leonard, TS Eliot, Jane Austen, Shelly plan what they are writing. Others like Dickens, Whedon, GRR Martin, Shakespeare, don't. always.
It also depends on the show...I guess.
Like I said, I tend to think metaphorically - so for me, certain things are obvious, which aren't to someone who is more literal minded,
