Series 2 Re-Edited on BBC2


Just watched the first episode of series 2 on BBC 2 and it's been re edited.

First of all, the picture quality has been changed so it's more grainy and looks more like the first series.

There were a few bits changed as well. In the first scene, there were a few extra shots, and there was an extra bit where Jill had some chocolates. Also, she didn't say Chip and PIN!

Also, she missed out possibly my favourite line from the whole series when she says;

"With all die respect Linda, you lost your cherry to a dog."
"It was nice."
"It woulda been. Even with the very small dogs, after that, most men just don't match up."

And also, the caravan scene was changed a bit, but personally I preferred it before.

There a few other bits but I can't be bothered commenting on them all. Personally I preferred the original version, except I thought the opening scene was greatly improved. Also, I liked the change in the picture quality, it suits the show much better.

I wonder which version will be on the DVD? Also, I wonder who's decision it was to re-edit it. I know Julia Davis said she wasn't pleased with the out come of series 2 so maybe that's why it took so long to get to BB2 because she was re editing it.

Apparently the DVD will have an "alternate" first episode. Perhaps this is the one we saw tonight?

Yeah i noticed a few differences with it, and the caravan scene in particular like someone said previously. I was actually suprised with it though because i thought the dialogue was more lewd than it had been on BBC3 which is a complete suprise. Dennis said something bizarre to Jill like "I'm going to grap those flaps and whack them back down on that snatch".
I myself have only had that said to me on two occassions. The first during a drink with James Cameron on the set of Pirahna 2, and the second when Laura had had one too many.
