This episode first aired on January 13, 1981, and Brian Jacques acted as a minor cast member. Along with a few others, he was a "heavy," or a person hired as protection. Brian appears towards the end of the show, around the 01:08 minute marker, as one amongst several men serving as a group of thugs for Philip Donaghy's character, Maxie. The men proceed to intimidate various bidders who are participating in an auction for construction equipment, and the buyers quickly depart as the heavies move in to take over the event. Brian is given one line of dialogue as the auctioneer finds himself overwhelmed: "Hey yeah, the final offer, take it or leave it. Eleven pence, eighty."
