The TV series:
- British Brevity: Only two series of 7 episodes each were made.
- Similarly Named Works: The show is not to be confused with a 1988 documentary film by Errol Morris about a man falsely convicted and sentenced to death for murder.
- Underage Casting: Inspector Fowler is clearly written as an older man completely out of touch with modern-day culture and attitudes, however Rowan Atkinson was only 39 when the show went into production — only 13 years older in fact than James Dreyfus, who played Goody.
- What Could Have Been: Chris Barrie was considered for Inspector Raymond Fowler.
