The Catacombs Missing Link
SFX footage

SFX footage from the World Backgrounds library. The library contains many alternative takes and longer shots (sometimes including clapperboards). A few examples have appeared on the Network DVDs bonus disc, but many have never been seen. Episode shots are outlined in red, all other shots from the library.

Missing Link

Static shot of Zenno surface (a Ray Caple matte painting, with lights moving along the central tube). In the last frames, the Moon abruptly disappears (the Moon is a photo cut-out, a shot taken by Apollo 11 on 22 July, 1969, reversed left for right). Seen in the episode twice, in a vignette. 22 seconds.

A slow pan over the Zenno surface, a little closer than the above view. There are no "lights" in the big dome, or lights flashing along the central tube. 18 seconds. Not seen in episode.
