Production
- The documentary "Inside the Omega Factor", produced for the 2006 DVD release, includes claims by the programme's production staff of strange happenings during production that could have been supernatural in origin. For example, during the filming of one episode all the clocks in the studio stopped simultaneously, and during rehearsal a ouija board fell over on its own. Actress Natasha Gerson, who played the mysterious recurring character of Morag, says her character's regular costume (a wooly dress) also disappeared without a trace.
- Recurring guest star Natasha Gerson is the daughter of the show's creator. According to her interview for the 2006 DVD release, she auditioned for the role under an assumed name so that the casting agent was not aware of the relation.
- The series was originally allotted to run thirteen episodes, but to maintain a certain level of quality, the production was scaled back to ten episodes to allow more money to be budgeted per episode.
- This was actress Louise Jameson's first post-Doctor Who role.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.”
—Gus Hall (b. 1910)
“Constant revolutionizing of production ... distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
