Question on Mr Smith of Manchester

Just to fill some time, I watched this again the other day on youtube. I seem to recall, when I first watched it originally broadcast, there was a larger "first person"/real-time view at some point - maybe right at the very start, maybe later on as a kind of "flashback" - of Devon, Rachel, and Garth approaching the barricaded entry, and being able to see/read what that message/warning said. But in the version on youtube, all they show is a playback of a security recording showing them approach, but you can't read it and you can't hear if any of them read/say what it says.

Does anyone else remember the same as me? And does anyone know if the version I remember is on the DVD set, or maybe that footage got lost somewhere along the way?

starting at 6:00 the security video of them approaching the Manchester barricade is shown. I seem to remember, perhaps when it was first shown on TV, another sequence from Devon's/Rachel's/Garth's first-person point of view, where you can hear what they're saying and also read what is written on the barricade. But that doesn't appear to be included with the DVD set. Maybe that footage was lost sometime in the past? I wondered if anyone else remembered seeing that sequence too, maybe also when it was first shown on TV.
