Now that the episodes had been filmed, it was now time to put them in the can and show off that most important episode to Lew Grade, head of ITC. The music was provided, naturally, by Barry Gray at his studios with the music editing being provided by George Randall - who first worked on Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.
