Trivia
The location used for Doyle's flat was also used as Shirley Glass's flat in The Sweeney Series 3 Pay Off (1976): the stained glass in the front door and the green spiral staircase from the living room to the bedroom are recognisable in both episodes.

Goofs
When Bodie, Doyle and Cowley are waiting by the car for the plane in the early morning and drinking tea from a flask, the reverse shot of Martin Shaw clearly shows his cup is empty.

Involvement

Worth watching to see Doyle doing a bit of disco dancing.

Doyle falls in love with Ann Holly. However he is floored when he discovers that Bodie has been ordered to investigate Ann's background.

Bodie unearths some dodgy connections that her father has had.

It is a low stakes episode, it allows Martin Shaw to show his emotional range, Lewis Collins does the big brother routine. It is a weaker episode.

I was a bit perturbed to see how easily a stranger can walk into the CI5 interrogation rooms. Has Cowley never thought of soundproofing his interrogation rooms?
