Episode 13 was screened at the later time of 9.10pm due to a Party Political Broadcast at 9.00pm.
Episode 8 achieved the highest viewing figures, at 8.75 million making it 2nd in the ratings charts of that week.
For the Press Preview (shown to the Press just before the first series) Thames didn't show the opening episode (Ringer) for fear of negative reactions about the levels of violence, instead a less violent episode (Thin Ice) was shown instead.
