Writer Aaron Lamont said: "Bad Connection is probably the most high-concept idea I’ve ever had. It started off as ‘The Mist in a phone box’ but perhaps it’s better described as ‘Alien in a phone box’, specifically the scene where Sigourney Weaver’s trapped in a cupboard with a big nasty monster looking in on her. And that’s probably all you need to know!"

Actor Indira Varma added: "I like Suzie. She's a loner and she's trying to reach out to people, but she's so abrasive that nobody wants her. But there's nuance in there – it's fun to show the light and the dark, when there's more layers to a character."

Her co-star Jason Watkins added: "Emlyn’s a librarian. Who doesn't want to play a librarian? It’s quite touching between them, because he comes under the influence of Suzie and is led by her. They’re two sides of the same coin, and maybe that's why they bounce off each other so well, but along the way, they're both heroic."
