Trivia

Mickey Hamilton's comatose daughter Cathy was played by Michelle Beckley, an ardent fan of The Professionals who required oxygen tent hospitalisation in real life, like Cathy did. Her appearance in the show was arranged with the BBC's Jim'll Fix It programme. Apparently when she asked Martin Shaw how to play a comatose character, his advice to her was "Just act like Lewis Collins!".

Goofs

When Bodie breaks into Hamilton's flat he wraps his handkerchief round his left hand. This comes off as he smashes the window with his gun and he grabs it with his right hand. In the next shot the handkerchief is tightly wrapped around his left hand again.
