I don't remember those scenes being left out. Actually that sounds the wrong way round. I DO remember seeing those scenes, but I wasn't watching on SKY, I was watching BBC. Strange, it was Saturday tea-time family viewing so how come BBC kept them in but SKY didn't?
Anyway, I've bought the DVDs twice now. The first time was nothing to do with fanfic, I just loved the shows. Then, in a fit of desperate cleaning rage and stupidity, I got rid of them. Finding the archives a couple of years ago and becoming addicted to LnC fanfic lead me to re-buy them. So the 2nd time was definitely because of this website and the people here.
