Was just wondering if anyone has downloaded all the episodes on itunes as I hear they are all supposed to be the uncut versions is this actually true? I know episodes such as The Jolly Boys Outing & Yuppy Love has extra minutes in them that didn't make the DVDs.
Thanx for any information.

Why not just record them off GOLD? They are uncut I think.
The law, The huge cost of covering music for a release on any platform that is not broadcast television and compassionate reasons
Everything should be left in. I doubt people who hate racism would end up being racist after watching fully uncut episodes.
Hahaha !
Trigger says "It sounds like Jimmy Saville".
And they cut that line out. Truly pathetic.
I find it hard to believe there`s anything racist in OFAH.. just saying a word or referring to a person of ethnic background doesn`t make anyone racist.. in fact all they`re doing is winding us all up and making us more annoyed at the affects of immigration
I agree that is why i said 'racist' as in something they have decided is racist because nowadays people complain about all sorts of things
There was no genuince offensive racism in OFAH
I know.
Funnily enough I was watching the very first series on DVD and yes you are right, I remember owning the same series but on VHS which had a completely different theme tune.
I saw that episode when it was repeated on BBC1 (mid afternoon I think last year) and that line was most definitely left in - I remember it well, because I was wondering if it was going to be censored.....
Unless, of course, they repeated this episode twice last year and had edited it on the further repeat showing?
No there isn't there is some lines like "P***i shop wont let us have nothing on tick". They also have cut this line out of one episode.
"Ringing round your old girlfriends makes you feel old"
"Some married are they?"
"Couple of them are dead".
That line is always cut now. Someone said it's out of respect for David Jason as his life long partner had died of Cancer.
I know die-hard fans hate this episode but the scene at the Opera was hilarious but has now been hacked to death and would love to see it in its original format. Plus the removal of audience laughter which I believe was added on after 1st transmission.
The cut episode I think was last shown on Christmas morning 2014 on BBC ONE.
I guess it's a long shot but anyone know whether the original still exists intact somewhere?
I had this on tape till a few years ago. Recorded on Christmas Day 1986, sadly the tape got accidently thrown away.
That video is 2hrs 40mins
It's been posted at a slower speed than normal. I have noticed this a lot on Youtube lately. It seems to be a way of getting around copyrights.
The DVD versions are fine. There's not enough cut from them to be concerned about really. I know some people want them uncut for completist sake, well maybe they exist on old video releases? Someone will have them!
In the Jolly Boys outing there is a large bit cut when Del and Rodney are in a nightclub. It's cut due to music rights but the scene explains the problems that Rodney and Cassandra are beginning to have.
