Production
In the original script, the character of Dr Newman was written as Dr Nieuwenhoff. On the cast page, Tony Barwick appended a note running, "Please amend throughout script: Nieuwenhoff to Newman". The prop of a newspaper that first appeared in the Thunderbirds episode "Edge of Impact" is featured again in "Double Agent". Seen being read by Mac, the headline references the plot of the earlier episode: "Red Arrow Test Flight Cancelled". The establishing shot of the London airport is lifted from another Thunderbirds episode, "Trapped in the Sky", while shots used for the Paris airport originally appeared in Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons: the establishing shot derives from the episode "Treble Cross", the shot of the public address speaker from "Winged Assassin". The music heard on Courier A14's car radio at the start of the episode was recorded on 12 May 1968 at Barry Gray Studio from 7 pm to 11 pm.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.”
—George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)
“The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The production of obscurity in Paris compares to the production of motor cars in Detroit in the great period of American industry.”
—Ernest Gellner (b. 1925)
