Series 3, Episode 1 - This Thing Called Love

When the Professor claims that love is what drives him, Satan becomes worried about his image on Earth.

Notes

In the original broadcast of this episode, Satan assumes the form of Jill Dando. The TV presenter was murdered the following month, and with a repeat of the episode already scheduled for May 1999 the BBC quickly worked on a new edit. The repeat version mentions Gabby Roslin instead.
