* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Many were sceptical that the long-awaited revival would be a success. It procedeed to win several awards.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The Season Two opener is usually considered the best. Or [[Music/DireStraits Mark Knopfler's]] closing theme to the 2002 season. Although really, ''any'' of Joe Fagin's four vocal tracks from the first two seasons could easily qualify.
* RetroactiveRecognition:
** Herr Ulrich from Series 1 is played by Creator/PeterBirch, who would later be best known for playing Jack Hathaway in ''Series/{{Casualty}}''.
** Hazel Redfern from Series 2 is played by Creator/MelanieHill, who would later be best known for playing the second Aveline Boswell in ''Series/Bread1986''.
** Carol Pringle from "Another Country" is played by Creator/CatherineRabett, who would later be best known for playing Cissy Meldrum in ''Series/YouRangMLord''.
** Ray Clegg from "Hasta La Vista" is played by Creator/MikeBurns, who would go on to play Colin Weatherby in ''Series/TheBrittasEmpire''.
* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: In season three, the scene where the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge is dismantled was so realistic that many people believed it was really being removed, forcing Creator/TheBBC to add a caption to the final episode reassuring them that it was still there. Middlesbrough Council also issued a press release stating that the bridge remained in situ.
