A background in television soap seems to be a pre-requisite for a main role in Bugs. Craig McLachlan (Ed) appeared in both Neighbours and Home and Away, Jesse Birdsall (Beckett) was one of the cast in the short-lived Eldorado, and Jaye Griffiths had a long stint on The Bill.
Jesse Birdsall is suffering a bad attack of the blues - rhythm and blues that is! The music fanatic has a huge collection of rare vinyl records but there's one disc that has eluded him up until now - Jumpin' Baby by The Lone Wolf. He was once offered a copy for around £1000 but the price was excessive, so if you've got one to spare...
Jaye Griffiths achieved her ambition last year of driving a car across America. She managed to fit in some flying lessons while she was there too!
The two series consultants for Bugs both have a background in Cult Television. Among Brian Clemens' long list of credits are The Avengers and The Professionals, while Stephen Gallagher started writing for TV with Doctor Who and has since written Chimera and contributed to Ghosts.
