Alternate Footage
03:30

Only the German DVD contains the additional titel "Zurück in die 80er" ("Back to the 80s). For obvious reasons, the UK DVD only contains the original show title. Furthermore, the German title of the episode follows after the opening. In the UK Version, the title does not appear.

Please note: I am well aware that this is irrelevant for international audiences, but I would not be surprised if this alteration had been made in other (non-English speaking) countries as well.

In the UK Version, the briefing begins earlier.
Gene: "Right. Listen up, you lot. DI Drake her eis gonna give us a psychiatric insight…"
Alex: "Psychological."
Gene: "…into the mind of an arsenist."
Alex: "The motive in most cases of arson, no matter how sophisticated, is usually a cry for help."
Chris: "Why can't the bastard just cry for help then instead trying to kill people?"
Alex: "Because he's unable to articulate underlying anger into words."
Shaz: "How do we know it's a he?"
Alex: "Most of those convicted of arson are male. There may be evidence of occupational maladjustment, sexual, merital problems, alcoholism."
Gene: "That could apply to half the country. Come to think of it, apply to most of the people in here. If it was political, then why remain anonymous? I mean Election Day ist he perfect soap box for your cause."
With Gene's "Right. I suggest we decamp to Luigi's.", the versions are back in sync.

Alex: "It was hope. Desperate hope."
Ray: "For what?"
Alex: "Going into that fire wasn't just about helping a woman who was trapped. It was gonna help you, too."
Ray: "How's it helping me?"

Gene: "What did you manage to get out of her that I didn't?"
Alex: "From what Karen said, Andy's a lot worse than we thought. And you're right, guv. She's definately protecting him. She flew off the handle when I asked if he'd confessed to her."
Then Keats shows up in front of them.
Keats: "You've got a war hero locked up on election day. The Yard have told me to insist you release Andy Smith within the hour."
