Here's the differences I found in the SFC & CBC broadcasts of this episode. Total running time does not included opening credits.

Tease:

No differences

Act 1:

CBC

After Chatsworth tells Phileas: I understand the Duke has quite a reputation with the ladies.

Phileas moves in closer to Chatsworth and says: If any harm comes to her, Chatsworth...

Chatsworth: Why don't you let the professionals worry about that? Enjoy the play.

He steps around Phileas and goes inside.

Jules: Come on, Fogg.

Joins SFC version with Rebecca putting on her makeup.

- - - - -

SFC has a little less of the applause at the end of Rebecca's performance and less of her back in the dressing room before Rimini appears.

But it does add this, after Rimini's line: To wait any longer would be an eternity

Rebecca: An eternity? Your Grace, that... is a very long time.

Rimini: Yes. But with you, Miss Fogg, it would seem a mere moment.

Rebecca: Shall we go?

Cuts to outside.

Phileas: There she is.

CBC picks with Phileas: Driver, follow them.

- - - - -

SFC:

After Chatsworth says: She didn't need to know.

Phileas: Would you like my opinion of sending her on a mission without fully briefing her.

Chatsworth: Not particularly.

Phileas: Nevertheless, let me express it to you.

And he punches him.

Phileas: That had to hurt.

CBC joins with the shot of the ship on the sea.

Act 2:

CBC

After Jules: Look at these forests, Fogg.

Jules: They're the breeding ground for myth and legend. We're entering the dark center of the Earth.

Phileas: It's not myth and legend I'm worried about, it's flesh and blood.

Passepartout (walking around shaking a bunch of garlic): Sometimes, myth swallows up flesh and blood, Master. Oh, I have heard terrible stories about these mountains.

Jules: They're just stories, Passepartout. Products of ignorance and isolation. Once these people are educated, there superstitions will vanish away.

Passepartout: My grandmother was wise woman, Jules. She came from Romania. She knew of the vampyra, creatures who do not die. They live by night. They suck blood to feed their evil souls.

Phileas: Yes, yes. Thank you, Passepartout.

Passepartout: They sleep in coffin. Talk to the bats. Hold a mirror up before them and they're not there. And if you see one, sleeping in his coffin, his fangs sticking out, like this (demonstrates), you must thrust a stake through his heart, for only thus can he be killed.

Phileas: Will you kindly shut up.

Passepartout. Oh. I'm sorry, Master. I was only trying to keep you amused during this tedious journey.

Phileas: And singularly failing. Go and iron The Times. Passepartout: Yes, Master. (with one final shake of the garlic, he leaves)

Jules (moving to the window): Look at this, Fogg.

Phileas locks the steering device and joins Jules at the window.

SFC picks up here.

CBC

After realizing that he's not seeing the other patrons reflected in the cleaver, Phileas leans over to Passepartout.

Phileas: Passepartout.

Passepartout: Yes, Master?

Phileas: It appears I owe your grandmother an apology.

SFC picks up Jules: Well, we should be going.

CBC: 8:02 SFC: 6:17

Act 3:

CBC takes a commercial break after Passepartout climbs back in the Aurora, consults the maps and says: I'm coming, Master.

In SFC version, he says: I'm coming

Before it switches back to Phileas, Rebecca & Jules in Rimini's castle.

- - - - -

SFC has about 5 seconds less of Phileas, Rebecca & Jules looking at Rimini's "army".

CBC: 15:21 SFC: 15:13

Act 4:

After Jules says: I set the timer for 30 minutes. That should deflect them from where they're going.

SFC:

As Jules fiddles with the timer, Phileas sees Rimini & Rebecca come down the stairs.

OC voice: Bring the carriage to the entrance.

Phileas: Oh, no.

Phileas: Come on, Verne. For god's sake, hurry up.

Phileas: Have you got it?

Jules: Yep.

Phileas: Let's go.

The stairs are filled with Rimini's guards.

Phileas: No.

He sees Rebecca & Rimini get in the coach. As he starts forward, Jules pulls him back.

Jules: What are you doing? Don't be ridiculous.

Phileas: Verne

Jules: There's no way we can take them all on.

Phileas: Verne. Listen to me, Verne.

CBC joins at Phileas' line: We have to do something.
