Blue Heelers

Before filming started on the pilot episode, Ann Burbrook was cast as Maggie Doyle and Lisa McCune as Roz Patterson. The two actresses swapped roles to avoid being typecast in the future.

With extremely rare exceptions, such as P.J.'s shooting of Raelene Darcy or Adam Cooper nearly dying in a crash during a street race, no senior officers ever turn up or even appear to be informed/mentioned dealing with major critical incidents such as Mount Thomas officers being shot, stabbed, abducted, held hostage or explosions, plane crashes, serial murders and so on. In the Victoria Police, situations such as these would always be overseen by the District or Regional Duty Officer, which would at least be an inspector, and especially in the case of a member being seriously injured, high-ranking commissioned officers would always attend to check on their welfare. Throughout the series all of these situations are otherwise handled by Tom Croydon, which would never happen initially.

When shown in the U.K., many of the ITV regions do, or have at some stage, edited the episodes, originally hour-long, into two-part stories, half hour each half.
