If it becomes necessary to edit a programme, the BBC usually creates an 
editorial (and sometimes editorial2) version.

If you look at the search results in my previous post, episode 1 is also 
pointing to the Radio 4 Extra PID.

If you look at the By Date results on this page
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007mf4f/broadcasts/2017/10

and go down to episode 1 at the bottom, there are two Radio 4 and two Radio 
4 Extra broadcasts within a few days of one another, so it is not surprising 
there is confusion.  All four broadcasts of episode 1 are pointing to the 
Radio 4 Extra PID, b096h777.
