Firstly why on Earth would the want to do away with one of the best opening sequences of all time?
Another problem was that during the action sequences of the first Zero X crash and the fiery return of the second Xero X to Earth there was none of the usual exciting Barry Gray music. This rendered both sequences somewhat sterile and may have alienated contemporary audiences.
Then even more strangely they depicted the Martian surface in barren black despite depicting Mars as red on the Alan Tracey dream sequence. Perhaps they'd been guided by the black and white pictures taken by Mariner IV in 1965
Still Barry Gray's theme music and the model work is to be applauded - it's just a pity they couldn't have put them in a better overall package.
