The This Episode sequences in the Year One Titles are an exciting montage of visual highlights. Occasionally alternate takes and cut scenes were included, providing a brief glimpse of what the episodes could have been. Breakaway and Matter Of Life And Death have a high proportion of shots different to the finished episode. Other episodes have only a few shots, shown here.
Alan's Eagle flying low over the lunar hills (the episode shows a more distant view). Explosion by gravity tower (a different version of Alan's laser strike). The Alphans fall over as the asteroid shifts (the episode shows a wider view from the opposite side).
One shots shows Helena looking in a microscope; the second shot shows her looking up to Mathias.
A laser tank. We see this shot in The Infernal Machine, but not this episode.
There are two shots in the This Episode sequence of Koenig breaking into a broad smile when talking to Kara.
