The Original Screening Order

For this episode guide listing, we have adopted the original screening order for the Associated Rediffusion London region. This appears to echo the order of production (as can best be determined at time of writing) by at least showing the 13 episodes of Series One, then the 13 episodes of Series OneA. Please see the page on
Production for clarification.

The only difference made is to The Swamps Of Jupiter, shown as the thirteenth episode but which is felt was intended to be the first.
