Rodney: Well there must be, he's about to sing it.

Albert: (singing) "Ada, you with the stars in your eyes, love never made a fool of you."

The Flat Cuts

Back at the flat when Albert has finished his tanning session, a line of Del's dialogue is cut:

Albert (DVD): I'm fed up with you, I'm going down the legion.
Del (Cut): Yeah, well just make sure that you put on a pair of trousers first. A lot of stray dogs round the estate.

As Rodney starts his tanning session, a line of Albert's dialogue is cut:

Albert (DVD): I don't want to see that happen to you and Del.
Albert (Cut): Now I know this is going to come as a bit of a shock to you Rodney.
Albert (DVD): Rodney? Bloody kids!

Dinner with Lisa at the flat table.
(Note that Rodney offers Lisa some of the cheeses he brought in the transmitted episode but he puts it straight on the table in the DVD version)

Rodney (DVD): Only when I smile.
Del (Cut): It's wonderful how nature compensates.
Lisa (Cut): How do you mean?
Del (Cut): Well with a face like that he's nothing to smile about has he?
Rodney (Cut): Here you are Lisa, we have a selection of cheeses. We got erm, cheddar, that's double Gloucester and that one's Cracker Barrel.
Del (Cut): Pfff.
Rodney (Cut): Well the paki didn't have a lot of choice did he. And this ain't really Lymeswold territory you know.
Lisa (Cut): Oh I'm sorry Rodney, I really couldn't eat another thing. It was a lovely meal, thank you both.

Rodney (Cut): I didn't think the timer on that thing was faulty.
Del (Cut): Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah.
Rodney (Cut): I only wanted a thirty minute tone-up, two and a half hours I was under there, Derek.

• Yuppy Love:

Several cuts because of music^[2]

Mickey: Jevon! Jevon!

Jevon: What?
Mickey: See the blonde bird? I’ve had her! And 'er mate. See the black sort at the back there! Phones me all the time.
Jevon: You're a hell of a man, Mickey.
Rodney: Mickey, are you doing this for charity?
Mickey: What d'you mean?
Rodney: Well, I just wondered whether it was sponsored bullshit.

Mickey: I'm telling you the truth, Rodney!

Two attractive girls pass by. They stop and smile at Jevon.

Girl in Disco: Hi, Jevon.
Jevon: Watcher, darling.
Girl in Disco: Not dancing tonight?
Jevon: Not at this precise moment in time. But being a creature of impulse, I am coiled like a spring, ready to move with sinuous grace when the music takes me. If either of you should be in the vicinity when this occurs, then who knows, it could be your lucky night.

The girls both sneer at his flashness, but it's an enjoyable sneer. (they like him and his style. Jevon laughs out loud at his own audacity as the girls move on."

Jevon: OK – I've given you two losers an audience, and now its time to do what I was put on this earth to do – to bring pleasure and excitement into the lives of attractive young women.

This cut leads to the scene at the Disco cutting in awkwardly from the opening long shot to Jevons line "And tonights lucky winner is, that chick sitting at the corner table." indicating Cassandra and her friend.

After Rodney and Cassandra Say Hello their next exchange is cut:

Cassandra: Erm, was there something?

Rodney: What? Oh yes. Would you like to dance with me?
Cassandra: Thank you.

And the final lines of the scene are cut: Mickey: He's paid her, that's what he's done! He's offered her half the winnings!

Jevon: Mickey – shut up!

Two music tracks are cut but its unknown what they are. "Love Goes Up and Down" by Errol Brown is not cut it plays over the whole scene of Mickey, Jevon and Rodney attempting to get Cassandra and her friend Emma to dance.

• Sickness and Wealth:

On the original broadcast version, Simply Red's 'It's Only Love' is playing in the background of the Nag's Head in the scene where Rodney and Albert are discussing their concerns for Del's health with Cassandra. In the DVD and video versions, this song has been removed, and no music plays, removing some of the emotion of the scene.
The DVD release of this episode includes 8 minutes of additional footage not seen in the transmitted version. An early cut of the episode was used for the DVD by mistake. This backing music been restored on the iTunes version but this does not include the additional 8 minutes that appears on the DVD.

• The Chance of a Lunchtime:

In the scene where Rodney is holding Trudy up against a car, 20 seconds have been cut after Cassandra drives away. In the complete episode, Rodney walks away as Trudy slides down the side of the car laughing. Scene restored on iTunes release.

• The Class of '62:

Music ‘Mighty Quinn’ by Manfred Mann, the scene of Del and co singing along drunkenly to the track has been cut from the complete Series 7 video from 2000 but can be seen/heard on the earlier 1993 ‘Danger UXD’ video, so it is obvious that the BBC had the rights earlier but the record company has since withdrawn them. Scene restored on iTunes release.

• Three Men, a Woman and a Baby:

Music O Fortuna from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff is replaced when Damien looks at Rodney for the first time. The replacement is noticeable as it covers the audience laughter. This has been restored on the iTunes version.

The reasons for this alternative edit were because of John Sullivan's dissatisfaction with the finished version as originally broadcast. The final transmitted episode was hastily edited, as it was being prepared for transmission on Christmas Day 1986 and there was not enough time to run the episode in front of a live studio audience. Also, Sullivan has stated that he felt in the scene where Del is drunk at dinner, he came across as too nasty.

The original 1998 UK video release did not contain an added laughter track and more accurately reflected the running time of the original 1986 broadcast version. The version released in the DVD partwork collection is the complete version as it was released before Sullivan had made the edits,

• No laughter track was in the original broadcast.
• Originally after Rodney said to Vicky in the car that he had contacts who got him the tickets, you see the drivers' eyes stare at Rodney and then shakes his head, now it cuts to their car arriving at the theatre.
• Rodney's reaction at the expensive price of the theatre programmes "eight pounds?" for "Carmen" is cut.
• The scene where Rodney escorts Vicky into the theatre auditorium is cut as Junie asks Del why he didn't get her a theatre programme for the opera and he replies that she can't read.
• A number of short bits are cut from the theatre auditorium scene, including Junie and Del dropping litter on the floor, Del offering crisps to Vicky and Rod, Del arguing with disgruntled patrons, Del whistling along to the opera singing and Junie becoming queasy.
• A short scene outside the theatre between Del and Rod which includes this line " it was alright until Junie did her psychedelic yodel" is cut.
• A number of short scenes are cut from the Dinner sequence at Lord Melbury's, including Del running his finger around the rim of a glass, a discussion about the 'Shed' at Stamford Bridge football ground and the quality of a player, Del's dialogue following his line "They weren't his drugs", Del's "you thought I was going to say arse" joke and the ski-ing joke, Rodney saying he better not stay the night.

• Miami Twice was the name given to the two-part 1999 Christmas special episodes. Part 1 was a standard TV episode, whilst Part 2 was produced as a movie, recorded entirely on film and without a studio audience.

For the 1998 video release, the two episodes were edited together as one continuous episode, and a laughter track was added to the second part for consistency. This resulted in the removal of the end credits sequence of Part 1, and the omission of the beginning credits of Part 2 (which originally appeared over the "Summer In The City" track). The final credits were also amended to reflect the cast and crew for both parts.

This 1998 Version was also the version released on DVD. The original 1991 'movie' version of Oh To Be In England without a laughter track has never been commercially released on home video or DVD, although it has been repeated in broadcasts.

• Miami Twice Part 1: The American Dream

Closing shot where Del and Rodney enter plane has been cut from the 1998 video release.

Del: Hey, hey! Come on Rodders! (Singing) Everything’s free in America, kippers for tea in America. (To stewardess) Have a nice day."

Rodney: Oi! Pack it in, get on that aeroplane!"

Del: Alright, alright.

• Miami Twice Part 2: Oh To Be In England

Soundtrack music track ‘Rockin’ All over the World’ by Status Quo replaced by 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World' by Tears For Fears at the start of the episode where Del and Rodney are on the plane. Most dialogue is intact apart from a brief section when Del removes his headphones. On the broadcast, he says, 'Oh'. On the DVD, the sound of him laughing at the start of the scene is noticeably repeated in its place.

Del and Rodney meet the Mafia at the nightclub and the following lines are cut. 'Killer' by Adamski featuring Seal is on the original soundtrack at this point, but this does not seem to be why the cut has been made as other music tracks in this episode have simply been replaced. It is possible that the track was actually being played at the time of filming, and so the dialogue could not be isolated. This track continued originally over the next scene of Lurch breaking into Del and Rodney's camper van. As a consequence of this cut, Del and Rodney's introduction to the mafia members is greatly shortened, a gag where the mafioso mistake them for Australians is omitted, and it is now left unexplained how Lurch knew that they had a camper van outside.

Both episodes are uncut on the iTunes versions.
