17	** Brenda Blue's US actress Eve Whittle is replaced by UK actress Vanessa Stacey.
18	* SerendipityWritesThePlot: According to Jonathan Cermin who worked on the original model series, Jay Jay was actually going to be blue from the start, but they had to change it to maroon/brown as he was camouflaged against the blue screen. They would eventually get green screen after the first tape was made and wrote a story on how Jay Jay would get his blue color.
