    • Trivia
      Several episodes from the first season are in black and white due to industrial action by the technician's union in a dispute over the introduction of colour TV cameras. The five B/W episodes premiered in 1971 but were omitted from reruns and were not to be seen again until the DVD era.
    • Goofs
      Hamish and Dorothy Matthews' names are spelt Mathews in the credits of episode 3.11 and Matthews in episode 4.6

    The best TV drama series, ever, period.
    No other television drama made in any country has equaled or surpassed this one in quality from the beginning to the end of the series. Interesting and relevant themes, historical background, outstanding writing, plots, characters, sets, direction, acting, photography, editing - every aspect is executed brilliantly and and so well that you don't even notice them. And yet it's more than just the sum of those elements - it's a complete package that is compelling and unforgettable. What else can you say? This is a milestone in television production. If you haven't seen it, you're missing a major event in television history. Get the entire series, and watch all 68 episodes, in order. You will never forget this show.
