wears an automobile driver uniform and an unnamed Counterfeit Ring associate has back hair and mustache and wears a trench coat, bow-tie, and fedora. In the show, Ivan's original depiction is removed and he takes on the unnamed associate's appearance. Other minor characters are erased or have their appearances altered as well. Tintin and Snowy hitch a ride on a cargo train to reach the plane where the locomotive hijacked by Müller and Ivan was abandoned in the book. In the episode, they manage to catch up to it on foot. The side-plot of Thompson and Thomson having a fumbling ride on a biplane piloted by a ground mechanic, which escalates to them unintentionally appearing in an aerobatic aviation championship, is reduced to their predicament beginning and ending right at the Halchester Flying Club, thus removing the scene where Tintin watches the championship broadcast on television at Craig Dhui Castle. Puschov is never depicted using a whip to motivate Ranko into dispatching Tintin and Snowy as he was in the book. In the book, an unidentified aviator helps Tintin chase after Müller and Ivan on their way to Scotland when airborne, while the episode shows Tintin piloting the aircraft for advancement on his own. Other events from the book were either dramatized or toned down. Thompson and Thomson discover that Tintin is innocent much earlier in the episode than in the book. "Cigars of the Pharaoh" Tintin's cruise is moved from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean for the show. Scenes showing the crime boss writing orders hints that he is Rastapopoulos. The dream sequence when Tintin passes out in the tomb is made more frightening when the Pharaoh's emblem (colored red and slanted to look more like a "no" symbol) melts into smoke that appears to be blood and eventually transforms into a disfigured skull-like apparition. Immediately after, the smoke becomes a demonic cobra-like figure that slithers toward the camera (a 3D effect) and it appears to have “devoured” the sarcophagi containing Tintin, Snowy and Dr. Sarcophagus, which Allan eventually casts overboard. The gunrunner and Oliveira de Figueira's roles were much reduced, while the poet Zloty, Reverend Peacock, and Patrash Pasha are absent entirely. The asylum cell in the book has a bed while. In the TV show, the cell is padded and does not contain a bed. Dr. Finney is a member of the gang and writes
