I did some more digging and came up with this

This work is made up of a number of separate components.
Note that since February 2001 the BBFC has measured each component separately, but older works may not have the exact details, only a list of titles.
00:00:00:00 | TRAINSPOTTING-DELETED SCENES-DELETED SCENE #24
00:00:00:00 | DELETED SCENE #31
00:00:00:00 | DELETED SCENE #32
00:00:00:00 | DELETED SCENES #73 & #110
00:00:00:00 | DELETED SCENE #142
00:00:00:00 | DELETED SCENE #143
00:00:00:00 | DELETED SCENE #188
00:00:00:00 | DELETED SCENE #191
00:00:00:00 | DELETED MONTAGE SCENE

A film or video, together with associated trailers may exist in several versions and all versions known to the BBFC are listed below.

Category Type Date Company Run Time Cut Title
Video 06/09/2002 Universal Pictures (UK) Ltd 10m 30s No TRAINSPOTTING - DELETED SCENES

Details are likely to be more complete and accurate for the version submitted most recently.
When a film is transferred to video the running time will be shorter by approximately 4% due to the differing number of frames per second. This does not mean that the video version has been cut or re-edited.

To be fair, those are on the existing Canadian DVD release. The version of the film to own of course is the excellent Criterion Laserdisc which I'd like to see re-issued as anamorphic on DVD.... Not looking likely.

Dan

 

[Declan]

have the criterion laser.........so thats all I need.

 

[Jeff Adkins]

What does the Criterion have that the two R1 DVDs don't have besides a commentary?

Jeff

 

[Mark_vdH]

Is the current UK release of Trainspotting uncut BTW?

 

[Dan Brecher]

Jeff,

Criterion Ed has British Theatrical version of the film (which wasnt cut like the UK home video versions were), commentary from Boyle, McGregor, Andrew MacDonald and John Hodge, nine deleted scenes with commentary, interview with Irvine Welsh and excellent liner notes inside the gatefold sleeve by Welsh.

Thanks for the info about the Criterion SE, I did not know and have no Laserdisc player either

Oh well, never mind

 

[Dan Brecher]

Oscar, I'd hope there's a slim chance we will eventually see it on DVD (Criterion Ed) given their relationship with Disney who have the rights to Trainspotting in the US (via Miramax). The transfer on the LD... I'd never seen the film look so good in terms of colour.

Thanks for the reply yet teasing me with ld is not fun though when you don't have one

OK, so the commentary is the only thing missing from the 2 R1 DVDs. It would be nice to have, but it's not really worth me trying to chase down an LD for.

here is new info on a SE R2 of Trainspotting on june 2

 

[Simon Massey]

I understand the current version of Trainspotting is cut in the UK (needle puncturing skin if I remember right). I doubt the BBFC policy will have changed or that this would be resubmitted anyway.

 

[stephen^wilson]

The bbfc website lists an audio commentary and says that all previous cuts have been waived,so it looks like I'll be buying this when it is released.

 

[Jussi Tarvainen]

Here's what Empire Magazine reported in its latest issue:

--- Everything will be put right in June, however, with the arrival of the Trainspotting Special Edition. Director Danny Boyle confirmed to Remote Control that the DVD will feature the commentary track he recorded alongside Andrew Macdonald, John Hodge and Ewan McGregor for the Criterion laserdisc. Interview material with the filmmakers and author Irvine Welsh is also on the cards, with perhaps the added bonus of some archive footage from the legendary Cannes premiere and party.

 

[Lee_eel]

Does anyone know if the transfer will be remastered please?

I'll take that as a no then!

 

[Simon Massey]

According to DVD Reviewer, it will be an extended cut of the film that is being released. Dont know if this is accurate or not

 

[Jean-Michel]

According to DVD Reviewer, it will be an extended cut of the film that is being released. Dont know if this is accurate or not.

Hey, it looks like they're right.....the BBFC gives the running time of the DVD as 94 minutes, which works out to about 98 minutes once PAL speedup is factored in. The original cut runs 94 minutes. A bit surprised nobody noticed that earlier. But if it is indeed an extended cut, wouldn't that muck up the commentary track (which was recorded for the original version of the film)?
