 So many people believed that, after watching the third series, the  Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge had really been pulled down (one  couple reportedly traveled from Portsmouth for one last look at the  bridge) and Teeside Council were inundated with telephone calls, for  people worried that the bridge had gone. To reassure that public  that the Bridge was still there, and legend reading "The Transporter  Bridge is Still in Middlesbrough" was added to the closing titles of  the last episode of series 3. The deconstruction was of course done  by computer generated effects.
