Notes
1 Anneka becomes visibly exhausted after running up the many steps in the fort to find the clue.
2 Anneka has to read the clue underwater through her scuba mask. Cameraman Graham Berry, who is a keen diver, filmed the underwater sequences, with his girlfriend Belinda holding the light used for filming.
