CGiii Comment
Lola Martin (Philip Sayer) has been charged for persistently importuning and assaulting a police officer during the execution of his duty. Each of the 3 episodes ended with an excerpt from The Kinks' song "Lola". To avoid the whole video being blocked, the usual theme of "Distant Hills" has been dubbed over the end credits.
Nicholas Ball (Det. Sgt. Lent) is perhaps best known for the Thames TV series "Hazel" and "Hammer House of Horror". Ben Kingsley (defence counsel) would go on to a prolific film career, including Ghandi and Silas Marner. Robin Bailey (Justice Hamilton) also appeared as a Judge in "Rumpole of the Bailey" and as Uncle Mort in "I Didn't Know You Cared". Judy Parfitt also appeared in other episodes of "Crown Court" and "Yes, Minister". Colette O"Neil would also star in other episodes of "Crown Court" and the Doctor Who adventure "Snakedance" with Peter Davison and Martin Clunes. Tony Sibbald (Oscar Douglas) also appeared with Tom Baker in the Doctor Who adventure "Terror of the Zygons".
