Did you know

• Serial criminal John Cooper was caught and convicted of murder after appearing on the show as a contestant in May 1989. A member of the pubic noticed how much he resembled a photo-fit of a man wanted by police in connection with the murder and he was eventually tracked down and convicted (after a lengthy legal process) of a string of rapes and burglaries as well as the murders. He is still in prison as of 2024. Since this revelation, the episode featuring Cooper has never been repeated.

• The first two episodes were apparently so bad that they were never shown.

• 37 episodes of this series, ranging from 1981 to 1987, are missing from the archives. The two pilots are also missing.
