This was the first episode I ever saw of DS. I was fascinated by Thayer David. The piece of jewellry he lost at the Evans cottage is described in the script as a diamond stick-pin.
I've heard from many sources over the years that David Ford was written out because his marriage to Nancy Barrett was on the rocks. But I've wondered if it was simply that Ford wasn't all that good an actor and seemed to be getting worse as the months wore on. I certainly thought he was better in the Laura Collins storyline and the original introduction of Barnabas storyline than he was in 1968.
I've also heard that Nancy herself nearly left the series during this period, but Grayson talked her into staying.
