    • Trivia
      Holly Aird (Dr. Wharton) was expecting her second child during season four which is why in season four her character is nearly always seen standing behind something (or someone in walking shots) or wearing large coats and lab coats.
    • Goofs
      In S1 Boyd is talking about his missing son who is named Joe in the episode of the Blind Beggar, but in S7 when he turns up, his name is Luke.
    • Quotes

      DS Spencer Jordan: The computer's full of hard-core.

      Det. Supt. Peter Boyd: That's why they call it a hard drive.

    • Alternate versions
      US broadcasts were cut down to approximately 50 minutes per episode to allow room for commercials.

    Message to BBC: PLEASE SEND MORE!!

    I've been watching the series on BBC America. Turned it on part-way through an episode and haven't turned away yet. It is exceptionally well-written and well-acted and positively disturbing. Love it. I was especially impressed with the most recent episode, "Into Thin Air." Actually taped it and sent it to my sister the mystery buff, who doesn't have cable. She passed it on to our parents (who don't have cable, either). Mom wants to see more. If anyone from the BBC is reading this, PLEASE SEND MORE!
