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:
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities, so the social process requires standardization of man, and this standardization is called equality.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
