Trivia / Adam Adamant Lives!

• Creator Backlash: Verity Lambert remembered the show as an extremely flawed flop and was somewhat bemused when it later picked up a fandom.
• Divorced Installment: The series was initially conceived as a modernised TV adaptation of the iconic British Two-Fisted Tales character Sexton Blake, but when negotiations with the rightsholders fell through it was rewritten to be about a new, coincidentally-similar, character.
• Missing Episode: Most of the second season and a few episodes of the first were lost in a BBC archive purge.
• The Other Marty: In the first (never-transmitted) pilot episode Georgina was played by Ann Holloway, not Juliet Harmer.
• Uncredited Role: Harold Bennett as an old man in "Death Begins at Seventy".
• What Could Have Been: Mark Gatiss pitched the idea of a Reunion Show to Verity Lambert (it may also have been a Distant Finale), but nothing came of it.
