For American broadcast, all episodes of the 1965-1966 series included a specially shot prologue preceding the main credits, showing Steed and Peel walking across a giant chessboard while a narrator introduces the characters and the concept of the series.

The Strange Case of the Missing Corpse was filmed in colour on the set of Honey for the Prince and was, as Brian Clemens originally wrote it, intended to be tagged on to the end of the final b/w episode transmitted in America to advertise the upcoming colour episodes (though the b/w sequence titled 'Preamble for USA' written by Clemens to introduce the item, which was to have featured Rigg and Macnee explaining/introducing this short colour test film is either lost or was never filmed). It was also cut down into a trailer for the colour episodes coming soon to ABC Network in America. It was never meant to be screened in any other country. (Just like the prologue to the b/w Rigg episodes.) There is a myth that it was to have originally been a twenty-minute mini-episode, the version presently available on video is three minutes long.

 as producer. By the time Clemens and Fennell returned three episodes had been filmed: Two 90 minute episodes called Invitation To a Killing and The Great Great Britain Crime as well as a standard length episode Invasion of the Earthmen. These were considered to be extremely flawed episodes and likely would have been scrapped except they didn't have time to film new episodes and meet their American contract so Invitation To a Killing was heavily edited and had several new shots filmed to become Have Guns — Will Haggle, The Great Great Britain Crime was heavily edited and had some old footage from previous episodes added, as well as some new footage to become Homicide and Old Lace. Invasion of the Earthmen was slightly edited as well. No known copies of the original version of "Invasion of the Earthmen" or the two 90 minute episodes are known to exist.

This unusually long series of 33 episodes was divided into two separate series on original US broadcast. It was produced in two batches: seven episodes (mostly without Patrick Newell

, originally for the first US transmission of the 2nd block of 26 episodes, which made up the fourth series on ABC in America. These were then tacked on to all 33 episodes when broadcast in the UK, apart from 'The Forget-Me-Knot' which retained the amended Emma Peel opening credits and the original Tara King end credit sequence.

NOTES: In the episode "Killer", Tara King is only seen departing for and returning from holiday. Steed's fellow agent for this episode is Lady Diana Forbes-Blakeney (played by Jennifer Croxton).

In the USA the field/suits of armour title sequence was re-edited to 23 seconds (the UK sequence runs 49 seconds), to accommodate more commercials.

The original 1968 German dubbed episodes of this series had the field/suits of armour opening titles but the 'Shooting Gallery' end titles.

The original 1968 French dubbed episodes of this series feature a variant in the opening title music, a gunshot is heard during the shot of Tara running between two rows of suits of armour toward Steed, and the sound of the sword swipe at the beginning is missing.

The original title music for the opening 'Shooting Gallery' sequence featured gunshots, the version of "Split!" with this title sequence currently available on DVD has the standard title music with opening sword swipe sound effect, where the 1st gunshot should be.
