- 5025: Billy Bud
- ... no longer relates the events on board the Indomitable. For this reason we are never shown Vere's emotional reaction to the decision to kill Budd.

- 5027: The Downfall of Lady Macbeth
- ... and therefore, her bold character is revealed. Macbeth's intentions would have been less serious if his wife was not more anxious than he was.
