 Starting in the summer of 2004, the BBC America Channel aired prints of fifth  and sixth season episodes with the humorous tag sequences at the end of  episodes deleted. During the autumn of 2004, the prints were further altered,  with the original closing credits sequence with shadowy images of Steed and  Mrs. Peel against a blue background replaced by credits rapidly rolled past a  plain black background. In early 2005, the same channel aired seventh season  prints with the same changes.
