Production
The episode was filmed while C and Hanmore's family were on a trip out to Hastings Country Park one afternoon in mid-May 2012. It was not until post-production that Hanmore noticed that heavy wind at the Park that day had caused an excessive amount of wind noise, rendering much of the dialogue in the episode unaudiable. Hanmore was unable to reduce it, and so it remains in the original 2012 version of the episode.

 * The term "Snatcher" used to describe the criminal in this episode was inspired by its usage in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 (2010).
