Blacklisted in Hollywood, Ring Lardner Jr. and Ian McLellan Hunter, wrote almost the entire first season of this British-filmed series under a variety of pen-names. The show's British producers were fully aware of this deception, but Lardner and Hunter still changed pseudonyms every few episodes to keep the American syndication executives from asking to meet the series' writers.
Archie Duncan was replaced by Rufus Cruikshank for ten episodes, after he had been injured saving two child actors from a runaway horse.
Paul Eddington played more than twenty different parts before being given the regular role of Will Scarlet.
The title song was sung by Dick James (III), who was later to become John Lennon and Paul McCartney's music publisher.
