Due to union action by TV technicians this episode was made in black and white as a protest over pay. Early 1971 episodes of On The Buses were affected by the same action.

The opening title sequence for this episode was the one used for Series 4, showing the seafront and piers of Brighton, and the closing credits sequence, used for the rest of Series 5, showed Eton Bridge in Windsor. This combination of the two sequences denotes Frank's move from Brighton to Windsor to start afresh with a new detective agency in a town where his criminal record is unknown.
