	In its omnibus form, [[The War Games]] is issued as a two-parter (episodes one to five, six to ten), with a "To Be Continued...." caption overlay at the cliffhanger to part five; unusually, there was not a cast and crew credits roll, but instead a long montage of clips from the second half.

 **We can be certain that Campbell was '''not''' watching '''[[TVO]]''', which was the only Canadian broadcaster airing '''Doctor Who''' at that time, as that station did not screen omnibus editions, and it never aired [[The Sun Makers]]. If there is any truth in Campbell's claim, then it's far more likely that these retitled compilations were coming from one of the many US PBS stations that could be received by Canadians living close to the US border... The question is, which one? ([[Mount Pleasant|WCMU]] in [[Michigan]], or [[Prairie Public Television]], or one of the many stations in [[New York]] perhaps?)
 **It's possible that Campbell saw these other "titles" printed in TV listings rather than something that was shown on-screen; were these simply snappy plot descriptions or synopses which he misread as being titles?
