Everest Was Also Conquered - S1-E8
Corrected entry: At Ann Berry's kennels, we see the windscreen on Bodie's Capri being shot out, yet it is perfectly intact when they leave.
Continuity mistake: Bodie's jacket changes between arresting Howard and showing him in to Cowley's office.
Private Madness, Public Danger - S1-E1
Trivia: This, the first ever episode of the series, was first broadcast on ITV on December 30th 1977. It was repeated on ITV in 1979. Some time after this, a cut was made, which has endured on all subsequent UK TV transmissions: Just prior to the title sequence, we see Nesbitt hand Susan some drugs. In the original broadcast we then see Susan tightening her belt around her arm. Using Nesbitt's cigarette lighter to sterilise a needle, she then "shoots up" (injects the drugs in her arm). The excision may have come about because of a tightening up of censorship rules by the Independent Broadcasting Authority about the explicit use of illegal drugs on TV. However, the missing segment has been restored for the 2002 DVD release.
