* WagTheDirector: William Campbell's first wig was a French hairpiece. He demanded that an English barrister's wig be found to fit his character. Creator/WilliamShatner complained that precious production time is going to be wasted for something he found to be a minor and unimportant detail. Director Don [=McDougall=] didn't want a conflict with the series star, so he called producer Gene Coon to the set to arbitrate the matter. Coon decided in favor of Campbell, and filming was halted until the English wig was found.
