(1) Synopsis in newspapers was "Steed is given a warning". By process of elimination, this is thought to have been Sleeper.
(2) Billed but replaced by overnight War in the Gulf ITN programming (11.50pm-6.00am).
(3) Episode likely but not confirmed: newspaper synopsis was "Purdey's kidnapped", which suggests Hostage but could apply to other episodes.

Researched and compiled by Simon Coward, Andrew Pixley and Alan Hayes
