Notes:
Some of the material in Episode 17 was based on the real-life events that occurred when a Sydney cab driver was murdered. As a consequence, the episode was banned from being aired in NSW at the time the series went to air, due to the court case being held at that time (ctd. 'Wildside' Australian Film and Television Archive)
