I've got this problem too, I bought my dvd at virgin megastore in colchester and its exactly as you describe, kinda sucks, I can't take it back as I bought it months ago and lost the receipt, I only just got round to watching it. Oh well.

Not necessarily a pirate copy but a screener copy. We have occasionally received such screeners to our video store, in the early days on VHS but later on DVDs. The time code was very common on the screener VHS but less so on the screener DVDs. If the packaging was identical to that of the retail version they could have mixed up the screeners with those and accidentally selling them off.

TCR is the time code and I've only ever seen it on workprints. I'd say it's a Pirate copy if you hadn't bought it legit.
Watch it, then if possible compare it to the usual UK release, you may have a longer 'workprint' version duped by accident. It's happened before!

Yep, this is on my DVD as well. Not the end of the world. In fact, it makes me feel quite important, watching a screener copy...
