Trivia
This was intended to be a bottle episode, based in a single location to save money, but bad weather plagued production. It was one of the toughest episodes of the season for the crew. The weather delayed production so much that pick-up shots and inserts had to be filmed later on to finish. Delays were also caused by the inaccessibility of the location because only generators, camera equipment, and first aid crew were able to stay on-site, and time was wasted commuting staff in each day.

Goofs
If the insects are prevented from swarming by light shining on them, how would they swarm on Spinney, when he's standing in front of the car's lights?
