Trivia:

It is highly likely that this is the first episode of an eighth series which was cancelled after Michael Elphick was offered the part of Harry Salter in the BBC1 series "Harry" (1993) about a ruthless owner of a news-gathering agency in Darlington. It is strange that no mention is made in the episode either of the growing romance between Ken and Alex or the (presumed) engagement of Harry and Mary O'Haren, both of which featured extensively in the previous episode, "Boon: Shot in the Dark (#7.13)" (1992). It is left to the viewer's imagination to picture Ken and Alex as they might be now, with children who have long blonde hair, craggy faces and croaky but very posh voices!
