Trivia
Of the 26 episodes produced, only one ("Rain") is believed to be lost. However, episodes "A Man with a Conscience" and "Before the Party" only survive as black-and-white film prints even though they were produced on 2'' colour videotape. Furthermore, the episode "The Letter" survives only with French audio.
