The sole season of the show comprised four serials; the first two, and the last, were 6 episodes long, whilst the third ran to 8 episodes. A second season was mooted, but was clobbered by several different factors, including the production running wildly over-budget, and industrial action by technicians meaning that several episodes were produced in black-and-white, which badly affected overseas sales. All 26 episodes still survive, although only one of them in a colour format, and the series remains fondly remembered to this day. In 2019, Creator/BigFinish announced they would be releasing a new audio series featuring original cast members Banks and Burfield, continuing the story 50 years later.

Overtook The Series is being merged with Adaptation Expansion per TRS

* AdaptationExpansion: Like many other British series of the time, there was a tie-in comic strip, which was published in ''Look-In''. The series was so popular that the comic kept on going for a full two years after the series ended, with the editors of ''Look-In'' trying on more than one occasion to quietly phase it out only to encounter resistance from readers.
