OVERALL: R2
The 2010 release for integrating the previously separate episodes back in their proper sequential order. It also has some additional extras.
Note that for some strange reason on the 2005 release 1.7, 3.5 and 4.8 (1977 Christmas Special) are on an extra disc.
This has also bee released in the USA and Australia. -
CUTS:
-
R2 The Complete Collection United Kingdom- Acorn Media - Yes (878:10)
"Sweet and Sour Charity": The UK version loses 30 seconds of the first scene, dissolving into the second scene as Barbara and Tom stand up and Tom says, "Oh, alright, alright...".
The following exchange is missing:
TOM: Oh, by the way, Margo, thanks very much for the newspapers. (Tom picks up the pile of newspapers sitting on top of the fridge).
MARGO: You're welcome! What did you want them for by the way?
TOM: Bedding for our pigs.
MARGO: Oh, in that case... (Margo pulls out one of the newspapers from the pile that Tom is holding) There you are!
BARBARA: Why do you keep that one?
MARGO: Because there is an article about the Royal Family at Sandringham and there are limits!
(Tom and Barbara bow to Margo and exit. Picture dissolves into the next scene) -
