[edit] Trivia
- Exterior scenes filmed in the Lancashire towns of Bacup and Burnley, and in Todmorden, West Yorkshire. Other locations around east Lancashire and West Yorkshire were also used.
- In the Big Finish Doctor Who audio drama Deadline, Juliet Bravo has become a cult phenomenon in a world where Doctor Who never caught on.
- In 1989, Anna Carteret reprised her role as Kate Longton in Alexei Sayle's Stuff (episode 5, series 2). Viewers were fooled into believing that the first few minutes of the programme was a real Juliet Bravo episode, the illusion being broken only when one of her male colleagues appears not to "know what a woman is".
[edit] DVD Release
