Production
Before shooting the second episode, writers Jay Canning and Miles Hanmore had to decide what elements included in the previous episode would be retained. They decided to tone down Miles' stupidity, feeling that his representation in the pilot was far too exaggerated.

This was the first episode to be filmed by Seana Canning, who would go on to help film Miles' Nightmare Pillow.
