Beyond cast changes, ''Mounting'' explored actual production details details themselves.  It emphasised the fact that ''Rescue'' was part of the same [[production block]] as ''[[The Romans]]'', and touched on how [[designer (crew)|designer]] [[Raymond Cusick]] had to divide his time between the two serials.  It also described the relationship between Cusick, as a member of the BBC design department, and an outside firm like [[Shawcraft Models]], who provided the models for ''The Rescue''.  It revealed how closely a designer had to work with the model maker to achieve his desired results.
