Late in the show's run - sometime between episodes 470 and 480 - a feature length episode was filmed. This film was entitled Stopover, with the title Homicide not used at all, and was shot entirely on film on new sets and on location at Melbourne Airport. The story involved an international rock band who was held at the airport following the fatal overdose of a band member. The overdose was later suspected to be murder of Deniz Akin. Guest stars included Jon English as the band's lead singer, and Tony Bonner as the band member who overdosed. The film never received a cinema release but was shown on television as a special in 1976. It is officially listed as episode 504, with episodes 502 and 503 also being feature-length.
Lawson, White, Deegan and Redford are the detectives in the film.
