The series was created and produced at the BBC's Pebble Mill studios in Birmingham by Brian Degas, a scriptwriter for the film Barbarella (1968) and co-creator of the TV series Colditz (1972), and Harry Robertson, who is best known as a composer of film music (mostly under the name of Harry Robinson). The original title of the series was Nimrod, but this was changed to Virtual Murder, the original title of the script for what was intended to be the first episode, later renamed as "Dreams Imagic".
