Alpha 4 / ... (13 episodes, 1970-1971)

The visceral sequence of Dr Joynton aging to death in "The Time of the Ice Box" was edited down by ITV when the series was repeated in 1973/4, following viewer complaints on the original transmission.

As specified in "The Year of The Burn Up", Simon Randall is aged 16; Liz Skinner is 15. Originally Liz was only to be 13, but the production team decided that Cheryl Burfield was too physically mature for this to remain viable.

Episodes 21-24 (the majority of "The Day of the Clone") were made in black & white due to union action over a technicians' pay dispute at ITV (which effectively prevented any sales to US stations). However, although all of the episodes exist as monochrome 16mm film prints, only the sixth episode of "The Time of the Ice-Box" is known to still survive as an original colour videotape copy.
