Added DiffLines:
* PlayingAgainstType: The original actor for the cool, sadistic Toby Meres was a pre-stardom Peter Bowles, who would later become known for his more lighted-hearted roles in sitcoms and dramedies such as ''Series/RumpoleOfTheBailey'', ''Series/ToTheManorBorn'', and ''Series/TheIrishRM''.

* TheOtherDarrin:
** Toby Meres is played by Peter Bowles in "A Magnum for Schneider", and by Anthony Valentine in the main series. Peter Egan took over the role for the feature film.
** Liz is played by Judy Champ (in a voice-only role) in "A Magnum for Schneider", Lisa Langdon in the main series, Veronica Lang in the 1974 film, and Felicity Harrison in the 1981 "Wet Job" special.
** Mostly averted with Hunter, who is a LegacyCharacter, although since the 1974 film is adapted from "A Magnum for Schneider", Eric Porter is presumably playing the same Hunter as originally portrayed by Ronald Radd.

* CreatorBacklash: Michael Goodliffe wasn't very happy working on the series. According to various people, the actor didn't bond too well with the rest of the cast and disliked the production in general. He asked to be replaced.
* IAmNotSpock: Russell Hunter used to be subject to being slightly mocked over his character Lonely - to the actor's annoyance. In public places, people would move away from him and hold their noses. This was on account of the character having terrible personal hygiene.
* IronyAsSheIsCast: Russell Hunter played London black-cab driver Lonely, but in real life Hunter could not drive and did not have a driving licence. All the shots of Lonely driving the taxi were filmed with it on the back of a low-loader that was towed around the streets of London.
* MissingEpisode: Four of the six episodes of the first episodes are missing, along with six out fifteen from the second.
* OneTakeWonder: Whole scenes had to be filmed in one take, preferably. The reason for this, was to save money on the videotape as it was expensive to shoot re-takes.
