Barbara Woodhouse? Mary Whitehouse surely!

Original UK press book quotes 94 mins while US press book quotes 101 mins, although US reviews quote both.

101 mins could be an early rough cut sent to see if there would be any problems - John Trevelyan would

Yes, at 19:38 the lips "say" McNugget, but the audio has been edited.

I don't know what you mean by "time-compressed theory".
"Normal" sequence of events is Film->NTSC or Film->PAL, not Film->PAL->NTSC.
And in the case of Sanctuary, the interlacing does not correspond simply to the PAL->NTSC one:

25fps to 30fps (PAL to NTSC)
----------------------------
2:2:3:2:3 ...

Taken a stab at the comments.

The UK Sanctuary is probably NTSC-PAL. Its note claims "It is indeed native NTSC." But by whom? This is a very old comparison page as a whole.

It has a very strange interlace pattern, so may have been converted more than once.
It's certainly not NTSC 2:3 pull-down.

PAL runtime x 1.04 = NTSC runtime.

As Ulrich stated above, it is 25/24=1.041666... (as many 6s as you like).

Using 1.04 is o.k. for rough comparisons, but if you are looking at small cuts of
a few seconds per 100 mins then 1.04167 is necessary.

As noted in the Reviews of Series 1 & 2, the DVD packaging has comments about the music:

Series 1: "Features all the original music from the TV broadcast" - uncut
Series 2: "Features original music from the TV broadcast" - has (licensing) cuts
Series 3: "Features original music from the TV ...

I have the complete series, but have had a busy Summer (travelling) and am still catching-up.

I always wait for the complete series/season release, but that has it's own issues - it requires patience and self-will, and it may never come.
But at least the ones I do have are complete

Roger Moore (1927-2017)
But a good innings.

Not to be confused with "May God Forgive You, I Won't", which I must watch/add...

Apart from the odd disc (1 in 50) the entire Network release under "The British Film" tag is licensed from StudioCanal.

It's not a deal breaker. Frequently reviews get it wrong, the difference being small, we can live with either.

John Trevelyan says not cut.
I don't have the BFI release to know what the stills are like, but on the DVD it is only with the benefit of 1/4 speed that you can catch anything, and it's not much. Also, it looks "accidental".
I can't see that there is room (in the UK version) for something more ...

I have synch'ed the DVD and Blu-ray entries regards discussion of the cut status, and gone with "No known cuts" for now.

BTW
The reason I was asking is that an Amazon poster claims there is now a shot of Janet Munro topless reflected in a bathroom mirror which I don't think was there before.
it's ...

Thanks, details updated. I have gone with "No known cuts". I suspect that the melonfarmers simply translated the Janet Munro scene into American - they would get out of a shower and dry their hair. In the UK at the time it would have been the bath or the basin.
I'll add this to the Blu-ray entry as ...

I have the original 2001 Network release:
