On the special edition DVD, the studio logos, opening credits and a brief portion of the opening scene of 1961 British Film ''[[Dentist on the Job]]'' is added to the start of the film. The clip ends with a spluttering, unseen "projectionist" realising he has played the wrong film. A "slide" then appears urging the audience to wait one moment please while the operator changes reels.{{Citation needed|date=December 2022}}<ref>Bradshaw, Peter (15 October 2015).
