Looking for a UFO scene...

The one where Straker gets shot in the face on the Harrington lot, but
it turns out to be a stunt-double...

What episode is it from, and where in it is it ?

Not that I have a fixation on it, but I've just realised, after
watching the episodes quite a few times since getting the DVD set, that
this scene doesn't seem to be anywhere on it.

Was it edited out, for this set ?

Hi,

This episode is "The Responsibility Seat". That scene is near the beginningjust
after Straker as finished his interview with Jo Frazer. Hope this helps...

Thanks....

Nope... the US DVDs are uncut (although there is a second
of missing audio on DESTRUCTION)

No, it wasn't edited out, neither from the American nor from the
British release (checked it). You can watch the stunt-double holding
his hands before his face at 6:58 in THE RESPONSIBILTY SEAT (which
is, BTW, on Set 2 of the American release, not on Set 1!).

... errrr... my "bad"...

That scene IS on the DVD...

I really don't know how I could have missed it !

No, that one is NOT one of my favorite episodes... but even with
that, I still watched it a few times since I got the set...

And even as far as skipping some of the bits that I like less in an
episode... I never do that when first watching an episode or when I
watch it for the first time in years !

... sorry about that...

Mind you, they did edit Ed coughing up blood (after the car crash)
and some of the blood in the carlin shooting in the pilot episode but
they at least include it in the bonus footage. *

* By the way... NO, I ma not a big fan of "blood scenes", just that
any form of after-the-fact-editing bugs me to no end, LOL.

The second of audio missing from "Destruction", was it anything
significant or just a technical glitch ?

That wasn't a recently done edit -- they edited that scene out of
the episode back in 1969, before it was ever broadcast! It was
just when they did the restoration for the DVDs did they find
that extra footage which nobody had ever seen.

There were certainly other scenes which were filmed for UFO but
never made it into the final cut, but I guess those pieces of
film no longer exist.

It's just a short technical glitch -- it doesn't occur on the UK
DVDs, so I assume that it must have been an error made by A&E
during the mastering of the DVDs.

I'm glad they did, because it's horrible and not very convincing
(IMHO). If this footage survived, there might be more, somewhere!

I was watching 'CCA-OK' last night and was thinking, were the sets
being dismantled for the move to Pinewood? I can't recall the
production order, but I believe it wasn't the last one filmed at MGM,
which I think was 'Subsmash'. However, seeing as in this latter ep.,
the main control room isn't seen, perhaps it was being packed away?
Would've saved alot of effort!! Maybe these scenes were shot later
and added to 'CCA-OK' subsequently (?)

... they had it on the french versions that were aired (coughing up
the blood).
