Production
Actor and producer Bryan Brown placed a newspaper advertisement requesting scripts for the project. He ended up receiving more than 1,200 entries which was cut to 12. Most of the successful script submissions came from writers with no prior experience. The music was handled by Nerida Tyson-Chew. For her work on the series, she was awarded with the "Best Original Music for a TV Series or Serial" by the Australian Guild of Screen Composers in 1997.
Release
The series initially aired during late 1996 and early 1997, before going on hiatus. Later in 1997, a video titled Still Twisted was made for the Australian and American markets. It compiled various episodes from the series into a single movie.
The show briefly returned to Australian television in early 1998.
