  • Banned Episode: In 2017, Episodes 19, 20 and 37 of the audio drama series were removed from Streaming Services by the Publisher. You could buy the phyisical Release... if it weren't for the fact these were discontinued back in 2012, meaning that any used copies can be quite expensive.
  • Designated Hero: Self-righteous, aggressive, misogynist Tim is supposed to be the good guy. Huh? Though to be fair, these traits are notably toned down in newer stories.
  • Good Bad Translation: Given the translation largely being for the benefit of Germans, catchphrases abound, including - "Is it true that you have the best machines of anybody in the town?". Also, rather archaic slang, such as "They've given her the Mickey Finn".
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Many of the early stories made heavy use of stereotypes and prejorative terms when describing villains or foreigner's in General. Many of these, such as the N-word or "Gypsy", would be considered highly offensive and racist by today's standards. For Instance, whenever a italien character appeared, the heros would instantly jump to the conclusion that they are either a pickpocket or from The Mafia.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: This applies to the Original Audio cassette Releases of Episodes 1 to 33. They originally featured Music Scores by Composer Carsten Bohn. Following a legal dispute between Bohn and the Publisher in the late 1980s/early 1990s, the Music Score had to be removed and replaced with different Music for any future Rerelease of the Episodes, which includes the Versions available on CD and Streaming Services.
