    Last night, as I was watching Underworld on KOAP (Portland, OR),
what sounded like a narater came on and said "the signal increases as
the ship plunged into the underworld."   My question is: is this
really part of the show, or is KOAP getting cockey during its pledge
break?

(if this note is gunked, blame it on noisy phone lines, sorry).

Since this message has not gotten the abundance of responses that I
expected, I'll have a go: in the seventies, Time-Life distributed
a whole package of Tom Baker stories for commercial stations.  On
top of the normal soundtrack, the voice of a narrator, Howard DaSilva,
was regretfully dubbed on, which had the effect of truly magling
all the episodes.

How does this relate to you?  Well, there are a few occurrences of
Lionheart not having the actual episode on hand at the right time
to send to your local PBS station, so they must instead make do with
the "modified original."

As far as I know, this holds for only one or two Tom Baker episodes
(the version of "Image of the Fendahl; Part 3" sent to WLIW-Channel 21
in Long Island, New York, had it too).
