Trivia

Heroes - S1-E5

Trivia: According to the credits, this episode was written by a "James McAteer". However,"James McAteer" is actually a pseudonym for well-known TV scriptwriter P J Hammond (who, amongst many other things, created and wrote the strange sci-fi series "Sapphire and Steel"). Apparently Hammond did not care for certain "alterations" made to his script (rewrites by the Series' creator Brian Clemens) and asked that his name be removed from it.
