In all cases, the BBC Transcription Service had to reduce the episodes from their full length of 30 minutes to 25 mins, in order to fit physically on a 25 minute LP.
 
Sometimes they achieved this by the obvious solution of simply chopping out one entire round.
 
If the subject which got dropped was the very first round, this affects those of us who use that subject to index the shows; but in my opinion we should NOT rename a show, just because the original first subject is not included in some recordings of that episode.
 
That could be confusing, where a complete recording of that episode is held, perhaps in a poor quality, or where a complete recording later turns up.

I just checked my copy of Episode 207 and it also begins with the first subject as 'My Strength' - even though the file is entitled:
s10e13#207,1975-12-16=Polo, ANDREE.mp3

So it looks like we need to rename that episode in our collections and on Dean's webpage.
