Director'Lodewijk Crijns' was used to directing feature length productions and accidentally filmed 56 minutes instead of the usual 43 required to fit the series into RTL4's one-hour time slot (including commercials). A lot of scenes not relevant to the plot (according to creative producer Will Koopman, "all the funny stuff") were cut as a result, causing Chinese actor Benjamin Lutter to completely disappear from the episode. He is still credited, however.
