• The Other Darrin:
  • Madge was played by Beryl Reid in the radio series and by Dandy Nichols in the TV series.
  • Every One-Shot Character from the radio series was recast for the TV series too.
• What Could Have Been:
  • When Patricia Hayes first hoped to move the series from radio to television, she had hoped The BBC would be involved, but when they weren't interested, she moved to LWT.
  • Beryl Reid was asked to play Madge after playing her on the radio series, but she wasn't available and Dandy Nichols was cast in her place.
  • When the series was first publicised in January 1971, it was stated that there would be seven episodes and that Mark Stuart would be the producer. Come July of that same year, only six episodes were produced, and by Howard Ross, who was also the director.
  • The whole series was intended to be filmed in colour, however, due to the ITV Colour Strike, only "The Presence" was filmed in colour, and the rest of the series went out in black and white.
