It was broadcast in a series of "live" dramas that were shown every fortnight on Sunday night on ABV-2 Melbourne. In order, they were The Governess, The Last Call, The Rose without a Thorn, The Lark, Citizen of Westminster, and Enemy of the People (the last of "the season").[5]
Some outdoor scenes were shot at Morabbin Airport.[6]

gollark: Fun python abuse:```python>>> import ctypes>>> import sys>>> ctypes.memmove(id(7), id(8), sys.getsizeof(7))140479605016896>>> 78```
