DS DVD RELEASES: A DEFINITIVE LIST OF MISSING BLOOPERS AND EDITS

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.
