Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The series premiered during a real crackdown on drug importation through Dover, making it unexpectedly topical — customs officers reportedly used 'The Knock' as shorthand in actual operations.
Steve Toussaint (Barry) later played Lord Corlys Velaryon in House of the Dragon — from customs raids to dragon-riding in 28 years.
