**CONSPIRACY THEORY: One thought is that at the time (early 1976), the BBC did not hold a full set of PAL colour tapes of the serial (but they did have at least the broadcast version of episode two). The only full set of PAL tapes was held in [[Australia]], of which part two was of a different and slightly longer edit. Those tapes (or copies) were subsequently returned to the BBC by the end of 1976, but too late for conversion to NTSC for the sale to [[Canada]].
