Second thoughts was based upon the real-life relationship of the writers, husband and wife Jan Etherington and Gavin Petrie.

The radio series consisted of four series and a Christmas special broadcast in 1992 with a total of 31 episodes. The radio scripts were used for the television series on ITV.
