Saying "all six episodes" like that implies that some episodes weren't done in the 4:3 format.


An animated reconstruction was released in 2020, providing the viewer with two different options: a colour 16:9 presentation of all six episodes, and a black-and-white 4:3 presentation. Interestingly, the two episodes that DO survive (Episodes 1 and 3) were also reanimated, giving the viewer the option of switching between the real and animated episodes or watching a consistent fully-animated story.

** Creator/AnnekeWills has said in interviews that she was told that Creator/MichaelCraze was being written out, but she was given the option of staying on. She opted to leave when he did. (However, this should probably be taken with a pinch of salt. Originally, she said they were both asked to stay on and he said they were both axed. It's only in recent years that she's started to [[TakeAThirdOption split the difference]].)

* PutOnABus: Ben and Polly are both abducted early in the story, with both Creator/AnnekeWills and Michael Craze appearing in full only in the first two episodes of the story. A pre-filmed departure scene allowed them to return for a quick goodbye at the end of the last episode. The contracts for the two actors actually ran through Episode Two of the following story, but it was decided to go ahead and write them out of the series.
