| Notes |
| 1 |
When Annie landed at the Bushmills distillery, the weather
was starting to become foggy. By the time she emerged with the next clue, the
fog had thickened to the point that Keith judged that it was no longer safe
to fly. Filming had to be abandoned and continued another day. When Annie went
back the following day and came out of the building for the second time, the
sky was bright and sunny, whereas it had been overcast on the previous day when
she went in, so she made a comment along the lines of “My word! The weather’s
improved a bit while I’ve been in there”! |
