+- For [[Resurrection of the Daleks]], the original four-part version was supplied to Lionheart. However, part two was without music or sound effects. The omnibus "movie" version was similarly affected, but this time it was the entire second half that was missing its music and effects. There were also several extra scenes in these episodes not used in the final UK cut. (In later years, a corrected version with the missing audio was supplied.)
