The remastered versions take the original file and upscale resolution, improve colour gradings, and fix up other misc errors where possible. This version, considered definitive, is also cut and been edited to the shorter run time of 21 minutes down from its original 45.
The reason behind this is to close off storylines that would have been followed up on in the intended 3rd and 4th series, but now never can be. I am much happier with this version due to giving more of a definitive send off to a show I am so proud to have made, and had such fun doing.
The episode is also notable for the portrayal of Steve Dixie by Cedric Mbia, only the 2nd ever time the character has appeared in any screen Holmes production.
Moriarty lays all his money on the line with a bet on Steve Dixie winning his next fight. With his simian serum, he is sure there is no way he can lose. But should this travesty occur, to what depth will he sink to recover his fortune?
