2 episode were dropped one each from series 1 and
2. I've heard suggestions that Cry of the Blackbird from 1 was a bit
controversial at the time the VHS recordings were first offered, political
correctness creeping in or some such nonsense, and that Bloody Week from 2 did
not really lose much to the thread of the story and was not up to the standard
of the rest of the production anyway. (Which is a matter of opinion – not
necessarily mine).
 
I suspect the real reasons were more to do with the
length of VHS cassettes and perhaps some repeat fee arguments, I wonder if
anyone knows for sure?

Hi, now that its finsished I must say that I've enjoyed
watchign
although i have most of htem on video anyway.  I havnt
noticed cuts -.

even my partner who didn't like it much has takne to
watching and
saying that he was grwowing to enjoy it a lot...
it was
good to see the French ep which i havene't seen since i was a
child, it
was a bit "Allo Allo" in some ways but still it was very
enjoyable. 
I had to giggle when elizabeth sold the potatoes to teh
Prussian captain..
surely Eliz cuold have offered him soemthing
else! 

I wonder
if it was dropped from the videos becuase it did show James
as a bit more
kindly and principled than he usually is and they felt
it wwas a bit out
of character. 

does anyone have any
thoughts
