For American broadcast, all episodes of the 1965-1966 series included a specially shot prologue preceding the main credits, showing Steed and Peel walking across a giant chessboard while a narrator introduces the characters and the concept of the series.

The Strange Case of the Missing Corpse was filmed on the set of Honey for the Prince and was as Brian Clemens originally wrote it to be tagged on to the end of the final b/w episode transmitted in America advertising the upcoming colour episodes, it was also cut down into a trailer for the colour episodes coming soon to ABC Network in America. It was never meant to be screened in any other country. (just like the prologue to the b/w Rigg episodes.) There is a myth that it was to have originally been a twenty-minute mini-episode, the version presently available on video is three minutes long.

By the time Clemens and Fennell returned three episodes had been filmed: Two 90 minute episodes called Invitation To a Killing and The Great Great Britain Crime as well as a standard length episode Invasion of the Earthmen.

Invasion of the Earthmen was slightly edited as well. No known copies of the original version of "Invasion of the Earthmen" or the two 90 minute episodes are known to exist.
