Series three ran on the dates shown, without repeats in the same week. A repeat broadcast of the series was scheduled for
a different time slot the week following the original S03E06 broadcast. But the murder of Jill Dando occurred in that final week
(S03E06). Two episodes of OHG were re-edited and re-recorded so that all occurrences of Jill Dando’s name were changed to
that of Gaby Roslin. (3-1 @22:30, 3-5 @5:24)
This creates the unusual situation of program episode variants broadcast in the UK (as distinct from the common
Transcription Service variants).
