When I first started watching it with my then girlfriend in the mid-90s, I assumed, since it aired at 11:00 PM ET slot on WTVS in Detroit, that there were a boatload of episodes (since it ran from 1972-85). I was surprised when I found it only ran 68 episodes. This was my first experience with the size of series orders in British television.
I'm a little busy this morning: are there any people left in that particular tontine?
