Facts

Although Glynn Edwards does not appear in either of the Australian episodes, George Cole has stated that he is in them because they speak to Dave on the phone – that said, when they do call him he has gone looking for a pub in the south of England. Although stock footage of Bill McCabe features in the opening sequences and on the original ad-bumpers for this episode, actor Simon Chilvers is not credited as appearing in this episode.

Australian gangster Reid who had featured in the second part of the trilogy and previous episode #9.12 A Taste Of Money reappears with his heavies in this one. In this episode he mistakes Arthur for being someone with far more power and influence than he really has.

This is the first of two episodes in the Ray Daley Years to feature alternative opening titles – the second episode being #10.3 All Things Brighton Beautiful.
