Baywatch Series 1 DVD - TV Programmes

In the UK series 1 of Baywatch on DVD is 1035 minutes in length however my German purchase of series 1 is 1083minutes. It seems that scenes that ITV cut have been also cut for the DVD release. I have only seen two eps from the German release but there is quite a few naked scenes with quite a long time spent lingering on a characters nipples.

I was unaware that such scenes had ever been shot in the show until I saw the German release.

How typical. Episodes of shows are always butchered over here. You would think that they'd stop doing this, but we always get the short end of the stick even with DVD releases. It's very disappointing, though even more worrying when it happens with films. Edward Scissorhands, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Batman Returns all had footage removed so that the rating could be lowered to reel in the kiddies to buy the DVDs.

This kind of thing is why I import so many of my DVDs from the USA. Even with the extra shipping and custom fees, it's worth it. I won't be censored, thank you.
