Huw Higginson (PC Garfield) appears with his father Tim Wylton.
The first regular appearance of DS Danny Pearce (Martin Marquez)
Matilda Ziegler plays the part of Helen Proctor in this episode. She later returns in 2003 in the role of Monica Skinner, appearing in two episodes.
The first scene of this episode features a character called 'Mr Dean'. This name is close in pronunciation to 'Mr Bean'. This is a possible in-joke as the episode guest stars Matilda Ziegler who played Mr Bean's girlfriend Irma Gobb in 'The Curse of Mr Bean' (1990), 'Mr Bean Goes To Town' (1991) and 'Merry Christmas Mr Bean' (1992)
