Howdy folks.
I'm compiling a list of bloopers and edits trimmed from the early DVD releases as a helpful reference to fans etc.
When finished I'll be posting it as a extra page on the restoration site.
So...please post as many bloopers & edits that you have noticed and be as specific as possible- episode and/or DVD set #/Disc #. It will all be a help to those who want to know, and I'll add to it as more come in- though from 9 or 10 on this shouldn't be an issue.
Remember, this is just for ones that were cut or edited out of the DVDs.
Later I will cross check the VHSes for those scenes and note which volumes one could get for completists sake.
Thanks.

Wow, Darren, what a great project! From the bottom of my dark little heart, I thank you!
I haven't seen ANY of the DVDs yet, though I am contemplating purchasing at least one set (the one with the Julia/Tom Jennings storyline). That storyline included a notorious technical defect which appeared to originate in the master tape. I believe it happened in the episode where Julia comes stumbling in like a wino at the tail end of a bender babbling about "Tom." As I recall it, there's this shrill beep that lasts about 2 or 3 seconds at one point as the action is moving from the foyer into the drawing room. I wondered whether that scene got snipped in the interests of "tidying up" the DVDs. (sorry, I don't know the technical lingo)
I discussed this at one point with Richard Holt--there's a post from him buried in the archives about this scene, and how it originated in the master tape. I think he may have checked with somebody at MPI about it.
That happens to be one of my favorite episodes, and I'll be upset if I learn that it now circulates in a trimmed version.

Darren, same as Steve, I have one, but I don't know if you know about it and it's on the archives; in 1795, Barn is wearing a Bandaid (I think it's '95, I'll check if it was 1897).

Did anything happen with this? Does it still exist somewhere? I'd love to have a complete list.
