Trivia

• The writers couldn't agree on a standard spelling of Elaine Tay's surname. Depending on which script it was, her surname was sometimes spelt "Tay" and sometimes "Teh".
• The highest rated episode was in Season 2. It was entitled "Resort to Murder". Written by Andy Logam-Tan, it featured the cast on the island of Batam with a story line that paid homage to the classic boardgame "Cluedo". In fact, the suspects were dressed in the colours of the game tokens and their names also reflected the token colours. The ratings for that episode achieved an unheard-of (for that time) 18% reach for Channel 5.
• Most of the scripts from Season 3 onwards were written with Scriptware, a scriptwriting software.
• Before Chong Chia Suan auditioned and won the role of Sgt Yeo Lay Kim, she was the weather girl on Channel 5 news. Other actresses who auditioned for the role of Sgt Yeo were Lisa Ang, Melody Chen and Tammy Wong.
• Mark Richmond's character, Herbert de Souza, originally had the nickname "Mouth" because he couldn't stop talking. His initial episodes were filled with diatribes and monologues which were eventually shortened.
• Lim Yu Beng and Loke Loo Pin were the only two cast members who stayed throughout all 4 seasons. James Nord Lim, who played forensic expert Charles Soo, also lasted throughout all 4 seasons, but he was killed off midway through season 4.
• When Wong Li-lin's character Elaine tay was killed off towards the end of season 3, a body double was used to portray her corpse, because Li-lin could not be reached to reprise her role.
• Season 4 was supposed to run for 26 episodes, but was shortened to 22 episodes instead due to conflicting schedules and a few other problems.
