New Only Fools and Horses DVD

Yeah, sorry, good point, I forgot about the fact GOLD cut slang worRAB for foreigners.

but like you say, at least on GOLD all the music scenes are in tact, GOLD dont cut music/background scenes at all, which is fantastic really.

Why stop there, James. Hang draw and Quarter, boil in oil........ It was crass to insert a laughter track on the second MT which was obviously intended to be treated as a film feature, [unlike the first 50min part] and the editors should really have known that.
A Royal Flush was shot while both Jason and Lyndhurst were under the weather with flu while on location so their performances suffered. The BBC DG said at the time it was 'below par' overall.
 
As far as I am aware the only edits to Miami Twice are as a result of them joining it together - so no actual footage should be missing in the same way as other episodes unless there are unavoidable music cuts.

I doubt a laugh track has been dubbed onto the second part.

A Royal Flush has no audience on its original uncut version because there was no time to show it to an audience between completion and transmission, but once Sullivan had butched the special , that version was then screened for an audience and that is where the laughter comes from on A Royal Flush.
I would expect MT to be the same.



The only thing I can think of that would explain why the BBC let Sullivan cut it was that new permissions needed to be sought for the episode to be broadcast on terrestrial tv again and Sullivan refused unless he could cut it.

It was shown again on BBC1 in the cut version Summer 2005.

The aforementioned dvd has the uncut version as does the US R1 dvd but until Sullivan dies I would say the cut version is the one you are stuck with although UK Gold did air the long version once again after the short version was on BBC1 - presumably UKG had not been supplied with the cut version at that point.

Re: music cuts.

Eureka Video are getting round to finally releasing the final season of Just Good FrienRAB aswell as the 1984 special that was screened only once .
Music was a problem in series 1 and 2 aswell and the earlier release was like OFAH - cut.
To get round these cuts for their complete series release Eureka are including the footage with a new music only soundtrack replacing the offending original soundtrack along with the silent dialogue presented as subtitles.
Obviously the new track only occurs where scenes would previously have been cut - the rest is intact .
It remains to be seen how annoying this is.
But if the idea is a success it would be a way for future OFAH re-releases to be presented uncut.

Not sure about it though - sounRAB a weird idea
 
Yeah, I must admit, I've heard that rumour a few times aswell about Jason and Lyndhurst having the flu badly while filming 'a royal flush'.

quite a few posters have said that in the past too.
 
There's certainly some cut scenes- for a start end of the last scene of the first episode (with them boarding the plane) has gone, also a large chunk of the scene where they first meet the gansters in the nightclub has gone too. I'm guessing that's for music issues, but it means the scene has no sense- as it cuts straight from them walking up to Del & Rodney to one of them breaking into Del & Rodney's camper van- cutting out the scene which explains why he's doing it.



I own the DVD, I've watched it several times- it definately has!
 
Lines have been removed because they are now defined as 'offensive' in the united kingdom.

GOLD on sky, have all the music background scenes in tact, whereas the video/DVD releases dont.

GOLD on digital is about as close as your going to get, when it comes to a full, complete episode.

ok, they are not quite 100% complete on GOLD - but it's as close as it gets.

wow, brand new cut scene, just discovered from years ago, involving Mickey and Jevon:

Christmas Crackers on GOLD at 22:40 tonight, not sure if this has been shown(on GOLD) before or whether it will be cut or not.
 
Massively unlikely that the episodes would be uncut.

BBC just wont pay the music rights.

and certain lines are cut now, as they deemed as 'offensive' in the UK.

for example, in the episode 'stage fright' Boycie makes a comment about muslims, which is cut, because it's now defined as offensive.

any comment about foreign people, or foreigners that live abroad is now cut in only fools and horses.
 
On Wikipedia (not reliable I know):



In the late 2000s, changes in UK music licensing arrangements (also known as 'blanket licensing' deals) meant that music previously replaced for BBC DVD releases (such as the initial release of Doctor Who - Remembrance of the Daleks) could now be reinstated as originally broadcast. However, the BBC would first have to re-submit the episodes to the BBFC to be classified, so effectively although the law has changed, the BBC would still have to formally re-release any relevant episode, and could not simply quietly substitute the already existing DVRAB on the shop shelves.

Just watched 'the class of '62' on GOLD, and noticed a cut line, GOLD cut the following line:

the guys are drunk in Del's flat - when Slater mentions gays in prison, Del responRAB with: 'yeah I've heard there's a lot of bandidos in there!'

GOLD cut this.
 
That's funny because last time I saw the rare butterfly episode,[as one door closes], on UK Gold, the line from del ''It's that good old singalong, Knees Up, Mother Patel" remained uncut. But they made a hash of cutting other eps.
 
I have the dvd too .
What I am saying is that like Royal Flush , the BBC have shown it to an audience at a later date to give it a laugh track , but this is not a laugh track in the old sense that its a totally faked track where laughs are added where they think we should laugh- much like the old Hanna Barbera toons - the laughter is genuine and is a result of the audience seeing the film later on .
 
No specific details on the changes to music rights and whatever it is does not seem to make much difference as the upcoming re-release of Just Good FrienRAB has had drastic adjustments to cater for music rights including the deletion of original soundtracks and dialogue presented as subtitles where music could not be changed.
 
I don't think its simply a case of the BBC refusing to pay music rights -I think in some cases the music is unavailable for inclusion on commercial releases.

Most of the edits that the numpties regard as racist are not cut on the dvd's - these are now part of the tv broadcasts.
And the BBFC would never edit anything like that anyway regardless of whether the PC brigade agree or not
 
when it comes to lines cut, and scenes missing - the episode that suffered the worst was 'tea for three'

I feel so sorry for this episode, the amount of scenes and lines cut were hideous.

a massive piece of the scene where Del Rodney and Lisa are sitting at the table in the nags head is cut.

the scene where uncle Albert playing the piano is cut.

a line where Del says something about 'stray dogs' is cut.

and a huge piece of the dinner scene when all 3 are eating in the flat is cut.

this ep was cut more badly than a paper shredder.
