The fight between Steed and Conniston at the end resulted in a cruelty probe into ABC Television, as many of the animals on set are clearly agitated by the noise. There were reports at the time that some animals died during filming.
The opening credits feature a fade out under the titles, then a fade in to the daffodil Steed is practicing yogic concentration on.

Scott Forbes (Conniston) is a truly dreadful actor.
Martin Friend, last seen as the bullied Hammond in The Gilded Cage, returns as the amiable George.
An average pair of soft ivory tusks can weigh up to 50 lbs.
8:30 - a fly made it way into the transfer booth when the film was being remastered for DVD, and buzzes alarmingly around Steed's head - it remains on screen for over a minute.
Steed's phone number is Whitehall 0011.
