Trivia[]
- Benjamin Ouma was meant to be a series regular but people disliked working with Lon Satton so he was fired.
- Filming began at Elstree Studios. As it was under threat of closure, the entire production moved to Pinewood Studios one weekend. All the sets had to be rebuilt. As a result they were blacklisted by the unions.
- Nick Tate was originally cast as Collins. Another actor was originally cast as Nordstrom but became sick after the special milky contact lens had been made - it had to be used for the replacement actor Roy Scammell.[1]
