OVERALL: R2

The R2 '25th Anniversary' release for the additional extra features. Unlike the R1 version, it is also fully uncut.

CUTS:

  - Episode 'Cash' is missing the Jools Holland musical number (an excerpt from this appears in the opening credits!) and also features a musical substitution in the scene where Neil goes to the Army Careers Office.
  - Episode 'Oil' contains an abbreviated version of the scene in which Vyv and Rik are digging in the cellar, beginning midway through the scene.
  - Episode 'Nasty' is missing Neil singing 'Hello Darkness My Old Friend' in the bath, but does include the 'teddy bear sex scene' which is missing from the R2 UK release.
• R2 Holland- Warner Home Video - Cut
  - This version contains a number of audio cuts to the incidental music in the soundtrack - and not musical substitutions with cover versions as on other BBC DVDs, just outright silence.
