Fitz is never seen driving and is always driven by others. The reason is never explained in the series. But in the book "Cracker: The Truth Behind the Fiction", it says that "He's never trusted himself behind the wheel of a car - its just too tempting to put your foot down and close your eyes and gamble that you won't hit anything before you've counted to twenty".

Robert Lindsay was the original choice for Fitz but turned it down.

Robbie Coltrane and Robert Carlyle would later star in the James Bond film 'The World Is Not Enough' (1999).

Fitz: It's really very sad - see, I'm a psychologist, and she's one of my patients.

Fitz: I drink too much, I smoke too much, I gamble too much. I *am* too much.

Penhaligon: You're an emotional rapist, Fitz.
