THE DISCREPANCY // 044
The reported theme-song alternative replaces the first command with another one. The reference refrain uses “Stop the pigeon”. This file follows that small difference in the opening, rather than printing the full song or treating its informal title as the programme’s official name.

A tiny message tube is labelled ZZ / RETURN TO SENDER. The bird has kept its own dispatch.
HEAR THE COMMAND BEFORE THE TUNE
Record just the verb before opening a recording. The action on screen can make a command feel obvious even when the vocal track supplies another word. Which version is attached to your own broadcast memory? Keep the language and release with the comparison.
A MESSAGE THAT KEEPS MOVING
The bird is the centre of the chase, but its name and the programme title are separate details. The linked report documents the disputed command. A continuous opening sequence is the better object to inspect. Does the remembered word return when you hum the tune without looking at a title card?
Keep your first version
Record the detail before opening a reference. Keep the exact object, release or edition with your comparison. A first recollection and a later discovery can be followed as separate traces.
