Trivia
Independently made by director David Wickes own production company, the series failed to sell to a mainstream terrestrial broadcaster in the UK, although it did sell to some European broadcasters. The lack of interest from the UK meant that financially the series was not going to be as lucrative as the producer hoped for. With only thirteen episodes made the series did not have enough stories to sell in syndication to US TV stations either so the series was cancelled.

Weak plots, weak dialogue

This series probably tries to capture some of the spark that BUGS had - two beefcake male leads, a spunky female sidekick, hi-tec gadgetry, and an added bonus of around-the-world locations. Well, the scripts were weak, the leads had to struggle with piss-poor dialogue and ludicrous situations - and the worst of it is - they were expected to take themselves seriously. Something that should have been a seventies send-up that ended up like a seventies remake.
