Trivia:

In 1972, a ninety-minute feature film was made simply entitled Doomwatch (1972). While it did feature the original cast members, they only played a minimal part and a new character was created for the lead role.

Goofs:

Continuity: There was seemingly no set continuity for the scenery crew when dressing the studio between recordings. Consequently the three prominent mushroom cloud photographs in Quist's office during the first two seasons regularly swap position between episodes.
