That's promising :-) Although it does raise the obvious question: if they're able to release a widescreen DVD of the extended cut in the UK - as this auction listing implies is the case - then why can't they do so in the US? Looks like the UK artwork has changed, too: this disc has the same...

Technically, they didn't: it was never part of the original movie. It was added back in for some of the first home video releases back in 1993 (US and UK both got it; Germany did not, for example). Exactly why Disney used the extended cut for the US DVD release three years ago and the...

I think that's based on some inaccuarate information on Play.co.uk's website - for some reason they only list 22 shows. I'm not too sure about this one. A couple of online retailers are listing it as having an 85 minute running time, which is good as that's correct for the extended version of...

There is no reason why they should be. Music rights will have to be negotiated for each country the discs are to be released in. The BBFC runtimes will be correct - it would be illegal for them to be anything else - so cuts made for (eg) Australia have no bearing on the UK release.

All of a sudden I'm becoming rather worried about you... :-P

Guys - batteries are the same the world over. Different brands, yes, but they all do the same job.

Er...yes! Why wouldn't they? :-P It's only the mains supply that's different.

Wow...Fraggle biology is strange!

Uh...they'd make little baby gofers?!

Sorry to hear that! I hope your fur stops itching soon... :-P

Sounds like one of Mokey's to me... *ducks hurriedly* Great picture! I saw your portrait of Gobo, too...I don't suppose you'd consider doing portraits of the others? :-D

It's a slight corruption of the French garde a l'eau - literally, "look out for the water". It wasn't used throughout the country either - it's mainly associated with Edinburgh. If you were walking down the street and you heard this cry from above you, the correct response is to holler back...

All the running times quoted above are approximately 20 seconds shorter than they should be. 20 seconds is the difference in running time between the Season 1 titles and the Season 2 titles. At this point, my money's on the shows being uncut but with replacement opening titles. By...

I knew someone would say this sooner or later! Sorry dude, but you're wrong ;-) What you're thinking of applies solely to material that was acquired at 24fps, such as film. The Muppet Show was shot on videotape at 50 fields per second (25fps). There will be no difference in running time...

Hmmm...all shows apart from Joel Grey should run to approximately 25'30". Joel Grey should run to about 26 minutes with the two Newsflashes, or 25'30" without. I'd say we're looking at cuts. The US DVD has the Mummenschanz ep running to exactly 25'30", for example. In fact...nasty thought...

This is just speculation on my part, but...might they have chosen the shows they did *because* they've already been out? If they're just testing the market (the market in this case presumably being those folks who didn't manage to get the Columbia release...) then they may want to keep their...

An interesting question occurs... The UK broadcasts did not follow the same order as the US. The first run of UK airings consisted of the first 15 shows (in a slightly different order to the US) at the start of '84. The next show aired was "Bells", on December 22nd the same year, and...

If you're referring to the Muppet Show, then it's due out in the UK in November, and I think there's a German release due around the same time. If you're referring to Fraggle Rock, then I don't know :-(

There are a number of songs on the soundtrack album which do not feature in the movie. I think this has been discussed before - I seem to remember someone mentioning that while the songs were recorded, no filming ever took place. All US home video releases include "When Love Is Gone", as...

And he certainly does get through a lot of hair oil... :-P
