The first of the new, regular one hour format (in fact as the format launch, this was an hour and a half long). The decision to move to a 60 minute format from a 30 minute format was actually made after this was filmed, and this is a composite of three thirty minute shows edited together. Several upcoming 60 minute shows are in fact two 30 minute shows edited together which have two distinct and separate stories within them, written by different writers and directors. The storyline for this is completed in the first half of the next show to be broadcast.
The first appearance of WPC Rosie Fox (Caroline Catz)
Hywel Simons who played the River PC in this episode would later join the cast to play the regular role of Sergeant Craig Gilmore.
