The mini-series was filmed in 1992 during the war in Yugoslavia.
Army Archerd wrote in his Daily Variety column on June 23, 1992 that "a pane of glass cut a 4-inch gash in Roddy McDowall's arm-the falling glass having barely missed his head. Also luckily, they were shooting in a hospital! Roddy was back at work on the set in an hour and a half."
