The Testament of Arkadia
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.

Moon moves towards Arkadia. 15 seconds. Different to the curving path seen in the episode.

Eagle returns to moon from first expedition. Two takes, each 20 seconds, clapperboard marks slate 17 take 2, dated 12th March 1975. Not seen in episode. The episode has a similar shot, with the Eagle from bottom left rather than top left- which is more consistent with the next SFX shot (seen below).

Eagle returns to moon from first expedition. The barrel moon is rotating. Clapperboard marks slate 16 take 2, dated 12th March 1975. Seen in episode. 25 seconds.

The docking Eagle and Eagle 4 fly towards Arkadia. In the last frame, the planet disappears. The take used in the episode is much more central in frame.

Scene 118 from the episode, the docking Eagle heading back to the Moon while Eagle Four heads towards the planet. 30 seconds.
