BBC2've chopped the Clipshow!!

I've already spotted 1 small snip, and it's less than 5 minutes in. Woman bursts in on George stripping, and says "I'm SO sorry!"

On the Sky 1 showing, they showed..

"Oh, I'm sorry." She looks again "I'm SO Sorry"!

I found this on an episode guide, it might explain the chopping

178. The Clip Show (2)

NOTE: When originally shown, both parts of this episode were shown in a 45 min time slot. When this episode was rerun on 9 May, the missing fifteen minutes of footage was restored, so future airings in syndication will feature the "whole" episode, less the 1 minute from each part that will be removed to allow for extra commercials. At least now some of the clip sequences make more sense, from some of the net postings I've seen. My cable was out the night the rerun, so I have yet to see this. Of course we have to ask the question, why didn't NBC just show this in its complete form the first time? We are talking about a television network, so we can't use logic. When they reran The Finale the following week, they allowed their schedule to over run. Was it that important that the season finale of ER start at 10 o'clock eastern? These are of course, rhetorical questions.

BBC showed the 2 22 minute seperate shows, back to back. Although, seeing as their back to back, the 45 minute full thing probably would've made more sence! (For those not in the know, BBC don't show ad's, so 22=30, and 45 is a regular hour!)

This probably accounts for the missing snips, since they needed to add 2 opening themes to the whole thing. (Hadn't realised it was 2 earlier, that's why I posted it, then!)

Nah That's not a real cut, maybe it's just another version or you didn't remember right, because the episode I have is not from BBC and there is also just one sorry, but I think you've maybe mistaken that you've seen two sorry's on sky. Anyhow, the BBC doesn't cut in their movies or episodes, never saw it and I believe the BBC will never do that...
