The original CBS late-night showing of UFO omitted the episode Timelash,
because Commander Straker and Col. Lake were shown injecting themselves
with stimulents to fight the aliens who had slowed time over the studio
and stopped everyone else in SHADO headquarters.  This was a network
decision, the episode was shown later in syndication to local stations.
