[QUOTE="Luke_Krebbs_Ewing, post: 331528, member: 64"] There is only one programme that I know of that had extra footage filmed in order to bring the show to a proper close. That programme was the series spin off of Return To Eden. It originally ended on a cliffhanger of Jake Sanders (Daniel Abineri) being shot accidentally by Jilly Stewart (Peta Toppano) with the character of Stephanie Harper (Rebecca Gilling) being blamed for it as Jake falls down the stairs to his death. The camera zooms in on Stephanie holding the gun before it freeze frames on her as the closing credits come up. In the case of Return To Eden this was the programmes first season and in order for the show to be syndicated internationally it wouldn't qualify for syndication because the show ended on a cliffhanger which had no resolution. Therefore McElroy & McElroy the shows Producers, brought back some of the show's stars to shoot a five minute denouement which was tacked on to the end of the final episode. The decision to do this was purely financial so that the season could be sold internationally as a complete series. It was a shame the show got cancelled at the end of it's first full series as it had great potential & is remembered fondly even today. Some of the earlier DVD releases of the series only end on the original cliffhanger but a newer re-release from last year now has the series complete with the final episode containing the revised ending. :) Below is the re-edited ending to the final episode: [MEDIA=youtube]jp2TF4zA5r8[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
