Remember, videotape editing was in its infancy at the time (often done by hand with a razor blade), so it was probably just far easier to do it this way until they decided to make her entrance a part of the show.

So, the only way to get all of the episodes on the Time-Life exclusive is going to be just to get that one big box, right? I was thinking with the previous set (from the later seasons) that a retail version eventually made its way out containing all the episodes that were in the previous T-L...

we can only hope!

Season Sets just weren't possible for this show due to the complicated music rights issues. Given that some of the episodes were edited on the first "big" set, it's obvious that there are some songs that are either unclearable, or (more likely) more expensive than Time-Life are willing to pay...

We do? Don't get me wrong, I hope you're right, but this is the first I'm hearing of it, and I suspected that since they've released one big set of the "later years" and one big set of "the early years", they might stick a fork in it and call it "done."

If tape damage was the reason for those edits, it kind of makes you wonder why they didn't consider editing in a brief section from the dress rehearsal. I'm not sure if they did this that early in the show's run, but certainly in the '70s, it was known that each episode was recorded twice: the...

Which is why Doctor Who: The Chase is edited on DVD (in America).

No. Episode 2 of the first season has one...

Anybody know if they included the episode with the Star Trek parody?

Maybe they no longer exist?

No one said they know what was edited out of those two shows, just that the runtimes are so much shorter than what was the norm for the time (+/-51 minutes). You can't make me believe for one second that the episode that runs just over 39 minutes isn't edited (nor the one at 46). The issue...

Not bad, but also not great. With five years worth of shows to pick from, I'd have preferred they select only episodes that they can present unedited. If the edited shows contain material they think valuable, they should just present those as bonus features, not as "main" episodes.

Was that original "Ultimate Collection" ever released at retail? If not, it might be a case of a former exclusive "going mainstream" (as happened with Get Smart, The Six Million Dollar Man, etc.) and it was, thus allowed to go out of print?

I have a feeling that it isn't 100% just to be handpicked favourites, but I bet part of a collection like this has to do with the clearances. For all we know, there may be some episodes where the music publisher won't clear "their" song for any price (or for an astronomically-high one) and...
