Trivia

This episode featured a story where Rachel McGregor was taken by two young boys from the Yabbie Creek shopping centre.

Five years earlier, a similar situation took place in the UK. Toddler James Bulger was abducted by two 10 year olds from a shopping centre. He was murdered and his body was found two days later.

As a result of this, this episode had all references to Rachel’s disappearance cut and the following episode didn’t air in the UK at all.
