The UK DVD releases of Are You Being Served sadly use edited versions of five episodes:
German Week (28:38 instead of 29:38) (Series 3)
New Look (28:10 instead of 29:03) (Series 3)
No Sale (28:47 instead of 29:10) (Series 4)
Forward Mr Grainger (28:11 instead of 29:22) (Series 4)
The Father Christmas Affair (28:55 instead of 29:33) (Series 4)
These edited versions were supervised by David Croft for repeat in the 1990s and used on the UK DVDs by mistake I believe. If you want the BBC to correct these DVDs, please email them to request it: DVDenquiryline@bbc.com
Looked at the American Set I have and seems like the American set has the most times:
German Week 29.44 total
New Look 29.01 total
No Sale 29.09 total
Forward Mr Grainger 29.25 total
The Father Christmas Affair 29.35 total
Seems like there was an Australian set? Anyone that has this set please check the times and post here. Thanks!
When you say the episodes were edited, do you mean they were edited down just for time, or edited for content?
By content I mean that certain scenes were taken out simply because they were 'controversial'.
