Michael Ward's Labour Candidate character (variously referred to by Rigsby as both dishonest and homosexual) was named Pendry in the original episode as transmitted. Unfortunately real-life Labour MP Tom Pendry decided that this was tantamount to libel, and successfully sued Yorkshire Television. YTV apparently wiped the master tape; consequently the only copy believed to have survived is a slightly low-quality Canadian NTSC recording. This is generally screened with offending banners bearing Pendry's name blurred out. No-one knows if the PAL master actually exists or not.
