When the guy is talking to his Mars-friends and throwing little stones into the campfire (pointlessly in my opinion) we see who can only be the Queen of Mars. Why do extraterrestrial queens always have super sooped up curly hair-dos?
Drives me crazy how tapes were wiped to reuse or thrown out to save money. They did that in the states, too. Lots of anthology series in the 50s were lost that way. Many of those shows featured actors who later became famous and here you could see them just starting out. Penny pinching barbarians. Thanks Martini.
From what I can glean, the TV series created a screenplay from Balard's original fiction short. But it does look interesting and truthful to the original.

Because even extraterrestrial queens have the time and money to go to a salon whenever they like.

God bless the Internet Archive.

J.G. Ballard! I didn't know he ever wrote for TV. That's got to be an interesting episode...
