Sadly, yes - there are edits to this set:
Rewind @ www.dvdcompare.net - Comic Strip Presents (The): Series 1 (TV) (1982-83)
- "The Supergrass" is the US version which is about 8 minutes shorter than the UK version
Director Peter Richardson had also made his own 'director cuts' of various episodes:
- "South Atlantic Raiders" - several lines of dialogue cut, pacing is tightened towards the end
- "South Atlantic Raiders, Part II: 'Argie Bargie!'" - Numerous scene re-arrangements, horizontal shot flips, and nearly 8 minutes removed, including the recap of the previous installment and most of Stan?s speech at the end
- "Oxford" - overall tightened pacing and a scene removed in which Hannah threatens to expose Professor Breeze
- "Les Dogs" - scenes shortened here and there, including the shootout between rival families
- "Wild Turkey" - entire cold open removed, dancing scene shortened, and farewell scene shortened
- "Space Virgins from Planet Sex" - some dialogue trims, scene removed in which the space rats receive the exploding jigsaw puzzle from under the door
- "Queen of the Wild Frontier" - multiple scenes shortened and rearranged
- "Four Men in a Car" - dialogue between Helen and Steve where he tries to sell her a new computer.
It's still a cracking set tho
