 These episodes are cut:

German Week (28:38 instead of 29:38) (Series 3)
New Look (28:10 instead of 29:03) (Series 3)
No Sale (28:47 instead of 29:10) (Series 4)
Forward Mr Grainger (28:11 instead of 29:22) (Series 4)
The Father Christmas Affair (28:55 instead of 29:33) (Series 4)

I believe they’re intact on the US R1 versions, with one small omission: Mr Mash’s Nazi salute on the end credits of German Week.

If you want the BBC to correct these DVDs, email DVDenquiry@bbc.com.

 @ mister_tmg (I bought the R1 DVD set for that reason, although I'm not sure the picture quality is as good)
I bought the R1 DVD box set of Dream On because that was the first available. I later purchased the UK R0 DVD Box Set when it was released and the picture quality was better on it

 I don't get why there not unedited when they release Till Death Us Do Part and In Sickness And In Health are unedited when Alf Garnett was thousand times worse then any show for racial comments.

 I bought the R1 DVD set for that reason, although I'm not sure the picture quality is as good. These edits were actually made in the late 1990s when David Croft supervised them for BBC repeats, I believe. A crying shame they couldn't get these UK DVDs right!

 Rated 10/10
This boxed set has been heavily edited from the original broadcast versions to remove some racial based gags. Weirdly, only some have been removed but not others. It seems it's OK to poke fun at English, Irish, Germans, Japanese etc but not at Arabs and Greeks (for example). Whilst it is fair to say that it's unlikely anything of this nature would be made in these enlightened times, the original programme was made in a different era and with pretentions and social quirks of the time. In any case, in comparison to other TV series of the era this one is mild and anyone who really takes offence at this needs to take a chill pill. Its gentle mocking humour is fairly all pervading. Crudities about sex, toilets, foreigners, relationships are all staples of British comedy and carried off with great aplomb in this programme. Masterly acting, direction and scripts from start to finish make this one of the best loved British TV sitcoms of all time. For those who wish to see the original unedited broadcast versions you'll have to seek out the US Region 1 DVD version, which has thankfully been left censor free.
