* Nadja Regin appears in the TV Times listed for the part of Anna Danilov; many guides claim it is her playing the drowned Katrina Sandor but it seems unlikely that she would have a non-speaking rôle in 1961. It seems more likely, as with several other episodes in the first year, that the actor was replaced during rehearsals and, with the two week lead time for TV Times listing, it could not be corrected in time. I think it’s a young Patricia Haines playing the dead ‘girl on the trapeze’ but it is not yet confirmed; there is no name recorded in the paperwork.

The TV Times listing only lists Vera, Anna, Dr. Keel, Carol, Policeman, Zibbo, Supt Lewis & Stefan (in that order); the cast list above is from the end credits that were broadcast.
