* RecycledSet: Sort of. The building used for the exterior shots of the police station in Aberystwyth is a disused local authority building (which, as of 2024, is in the process of being converted into an apartment block). For a time, it was actually used as a police station (as well as a register office and a magistrate's court).

* DoingItForTheArt: The decision to produce ''three'' different versions (Welsh, English, Bilingual) of the show simultaneously was motivated by a desire to showcase the Welsh language to the rest of the world. This led to some unexpected problems. Scripts are originally written in English before being translated into Welsh, but because Welsh conveys more information in fewer words than English, the Welsh scripts ended up being significantly shorter than the English ones. The creative team then had to find a way to pad out the Welsh dialogue so that all versions of the show had roughly the same running time.

Trivia cannot be played with.


* CaliforniaDoubling: Notably averted. Filming takes place completely in Wales and more often than not uses real life locations like the actual Devil's Bridge and Borth train station with its small rail museum. The rest of the time, real places are used as stand-ins for fictional locations, like the Hafod Arms Hotel in Devil's Bridge (Pontarfynach) as the former Pontarfynach Children's Home.
