Although this was the introduction of Emma Peel, this Diana Rigg version of "Town of No Return" was actually the 10th episode filmed. (Note the John Bates shoes and Emma's more casual wardrobe in comparison to "The Cybernauts.") The first version was indeed the first Emma Peel episode, but it starred Elizabeth Shepard as Emma Peel. All of Steed and Emma's scenes were re-shot with Diana Rigg, but most of Steed's solo scenes and footage are from the original.
