Not sure whether the TVS/STV thing meant much in terms of how decisions were made in the show's production, as it was still made by the same production team in the same studio (apart from the final season when it moved to Glasgow), in fact season 3 has a 1992 copyright which means it was made in a TVS studio with TV staff while TVS were still on air.

All the TVS-produced CITV shows that continued after 1993 moved to STV, I think! Seems strange they were making so much network output from Maidstone as a result which is virtually as far from Scotland as you can get.
