-THE C.A.T.S.EYES WEB SITE-

When a black business man finds a consignment of sugar he has imported from the Caribbean, it leads Maggie to a secret society from the island, whose voodoo magic becomes a threat to her life. It is not clear whether the above C.A.T.S.EYES episode was ever filmed. We do know that a tape exsists in the vaults with the opening titles to this episode, so that at least was prepared. We have conflicting stories as to what happened to this episode. One source suggegsts that the episode was indeed filmed, but Jill Gascoine didn't like the drug refrences in the story, and so used her clout to get the episode axed. The writer of the episode, Jeffrey Caine, has another story. Jeffrey told me neither this, nor his other story written for series one of C.A.T.S.EYES - X=Y, were ever filmed, as they were both considered too expensive. Sweet Toothed Baracuda had many special effects at the centre of the story, and X=Y had a fairground sequence to be filmed at night. It's for these reasons they were considered too costly, and so dropped from the series. Jeffrey Caine's other credits include creating The Chief and Bodyguards, and writing the screenplay to the Bond film Goldeneye (my personal favourite).
