No, it doesn't really explain, but since he doesn't mention a big fire, I'd assume that they cut it down to 10 eps to reduce the cost over a series - that often happens with things. And it sounds from this - although it's hard to tell - as though they left the cliff-hanger to be rounded up in a Special that never happened.
But it was a while ago, and often there are different things going on. You'd kind of assume Jean Marsh as creator, and this guy as producer would know, but, hey...
I wonder if by 'remake' he's thinking of Upstairs Downstairs? Which is kind of both. It'd be hard to imagine that working so well with HoE, though.
