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.
Two takes of the Eagle landing heavily on Ultima Thule. Each about 20 seconds (the first part the Eagle front is lifted at an angle as wind blows from left; the Eagle front is dropped, then the camera holds on the ship). The clapperboard is dated 23rd October 1974.
