- The Granada Plus repeat of this episode on 14th July 2004 was edited for timing reasons, omitting an entire Rovers' scene lasting 1'33" in Part Two, in which Raquel Wolstenhulme sneers at Angie Freeman's job on a market stall then speaks French to Ken Barlow in front of a baffled Mike and Alma Baldwin. The ITV3 repeat on 23rd September 2019 contained the same edit. Betty Turpin does not appear elsewhere in the episode.
