Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Minister of Ecology reveals that Stevens's first name is Jocelyn during their telephone conversation. In the novelisation of The Green Death his first name is given as Thomas. It is quite possible one of these is in fact his middle name, meaning both accounts are accurate. The change was likely due to the fact that Robert Sloman intentionally named the character after the managing director of the Daily Express as a joke, which was initially missed by negative checking.
