* There are minor dialogue changes. Among the more significant: Instead of unthinkingly relaying the Doctor's order to get K9 to shut her up, Leela repeats it in outrage (and it is made clear K9 only complies because she gives the order).

* Stor removes his helmet on first meeting the Doctor, rather than staying helmeted until near the climax. | |||
