The Channel 3 logo covers the normal Channel 21 logo.
That's where the receptionist sits.

The chairs of Tony Mordente - Director, Sher Anderson - Script Supervisor,
and Karl Kases - Director of photography.

The images from the cameras are fed into small monitors so the director can see how the
shots are going. The script supervisor makes sure the actors say what they're supposed
to say, as well as keep track of the scenes being shot. The Director of Photography sets
lights and camera angles, working very closely with the director.

The 'control room' after the climatic fight scene.
Real glass was used, but shattered by miniature explosives a split second before the
stuntman flew through the window. If you watch the show, you can see the window shatter
a little too early, before the stuntman even got close!

The inside of the 'control room',
showing the shattered glass, as well as pools of blood from the stuntman. The window was
made a few inches higher than planned, and the stuntman was thrown off balance as he
flew through the glass. He cut his arms as he was propelled through the opening.
