Trivia
Jim says a southpaw leads with his right. He is correct, even though a southpaw is a left-handed boxer. A southpaw stance consists of standing with the right hand and right foot forward, leading with right jabs and following with a left cross right hook.

Goofs
At one point Bergerac says that a southpaw is a boxer who leads with his right fist. In fact, a southpaw is a boxer who leads with his left, and the term has come to mean any left-handed person.

Awful Episode - Skip This One

We get a real kick out of the Bergerac episodes. They chug along for 50 minutes until the final chase scene, or fist fight in the water and then abruptly end with gotcha. Then no wrap up. But this one was terrible. Premise was more confusing than normal, by far, guest characters couldn't act, scenes cut out with no explanation, etc.
