What I love when this first storyline aired was the return of 3 special visitors to Collinwood. They even had their own theme music created for them. Music never used again in the show. Music that for some reason was on DS cd 3 and not on the complete DS music box set cd's. Carolyn will relate this whole storyline 2 years later in a conversation at the Blue Whale in 1969.
The writers also were very clever to reshoot the entire 1st months of Barnabas Maggie Willie and Julia in color to air in the fall of 1968. Producers felt many fans might have missed the first months of Barnabas and the scripts were already there. So why not do it.
They did the same thing later with the last 2 or 3 episodes of 1796 and aired them again. I always love to compare the two versions of each of these episodes 1967 aired in 67 1967 reshot aired in 68 1796 aired in 68 1796 reshot aired in 69. 2 episodes 1796 aired early 1968 reshot and aired in 1969
