Totally 18: Chris is at pains to point out when he starts going out with Tom's daughter that she is nineteen now. He has a perfectly valid point, but Tom is still...displeased. With his fist.

Photography and Illustration: During an inquiry being held about an accident on the rig, there is a black and white photograph of the real-life rig Piper Alpha, which exploded, killing 167 men. It is an utterly chilling sight when you know what it is.

Ascended Extra: Cath, who can be seen in a few scenes at the airport talking to the guys in Series One. She gets a much greater role and Promotion to Opening Titles in Series Two. Davey and Kevin were Those Two Guys in Series One, but they get their own storyline in Series Two.
