Running time

Expected: 51'25" excluding commercial breaks
Actual running time with bumpers: 51'30"

The bumpers between the acts are generally 10 seconds from fade in to the "End of Act" bumper to the end of audio before the commercial, a 10 second still without audio, then cut to the next act bumper. This would play with the theme for around 10 seconds. Accordingly, with the episodes being in 3 acts, the running time of the action is approximately a minute less than listed above, minus the opening and closing credits (normally 0'16", with a 2" fade, and anywhere from 0'41" to 1'20", hard cut or 1" fade or mix, respectively).

Minutiæ

1. 2:01 - the titles have a drop shadow so they're readable, superimposed on the marble head.
2. 2:10 - the cameraman struggles with the focus during the introduction of Cathy and Steed; it's not until 2:25 that things settle down.
3. 28:24 - the boom microphone heaves into view at the top right of the screen as Anstice bends down to tell the 'patient' he's letting the others in.
4. 32:37 - we're in Switzerland and there's an English clock on the wall!
