Buffy - BBC2 Tonight
Chris Parrott
almost 10 minutes cut, including half of some song, music cues, dialogue and
absolutely no swearing or sex.
Good Job BBC2!
Mat Overton
I take it you're being sarcastic ;)
To be fair though, unlike $ky, the Beeb will do a late night uncut repeat,
and they did allow the work "penis" in. Was there a cut when Tara started
floating above the bed? It's maybe my vivid imagination, but I got the
distinct impression that there was, erm, how shall I put this... indiction
of a sexual act taking place just out of camera shot...?!
Neil Hopkins
It was the short version to fit the normal 45 minute US tv slot - I
was surprised that the swearing was left in - one bitch and a bugger
from Spike. I prefer the longer version, but this was Joss Whedon's
edit. Will they be showing the longer version on Friday night?

The slot is for 45 mins
Steeler
one too). most of the cuts were for time - I know the US networks only
showed the longer version once and all repeats are the edit (1 hour with
ads).

D'oh! It's late. Either I misread or I need to take my 11+ again :)

I'm jealous. It seems to imply that some people have a "work" penis,
and (presumably) a "leisure" penis, while the rest of us mere mortals
have to make do with just the one!

Chris Ashby:
Hell's bells, that was quick!
1. Did they suddenly realise that Sky would never let them hear the
end of it?
2. Why didn't they notice this before?
3. Since it's almost Christmas, why didn't they schedule the longer
version as a Yuletide treat in the FIRST place? Who'd miss some of the
stuff on BBC2? (Ruby Wax and Jeremy Clarkson on the same show. Why?)
Might stay up for that. Followed by "Philly" and "Off Centre" (welcome
return of Kimberley "Annalise from 'Neighbours'" Davies)...

Fewer programmes to have to switch off. Better they all get lumped
into one. :)

Funny you should mention Avril Lavigne in a Buffy thread. I always think
she looks like Willow from Buffy.

True but it is a kids programme.
What amazes me is the number of people in their 30s who are totally addicted
to stuff like this (e.g Dawson's Creek et al).
BTW while I haven't watched Buffy in a long while, I bet the monster of the
week (usually nasty and lethal) throws one of the main characters against a
wall instead of dealing them a mortal blow via fangs/claws/bad breath.
Logic goes completely out the window when this happens and it's such a
cliche now they should just play it as a comedy and drop all the dramatic
pretentions. Then we would have a live action Scooby Doo ;)

I think it's SMG that accounts for most of that, though I have to say
that her Basset hound eyes and downturned mouth do absolutely nothing
for me.

I thought that was basically what it's meant to be?

No, Alyson Hannigan is actually attractive.
CindyLover

Yes, and Dawn French is thin, Christina Aguilera's breasts are real,
Dom Robinson hates "The Simpsons," and the BBC is self-effacing.
Are you related to Jim Shelley or that Tina Baker woman in "TVTimes"
by any chance?

I prefer Scooby Doo :)

That's her! I couldn't remember her name.

Anybody who thinks Buffy is a kids programme just having been paying
attention. Yes, it is daft, but it can also get very dark. It's the one show
I happily watch twice a week. Wonderful writing.

Also if it WERE purely a kids' programme there would be no necessity for
the BBC to do a late-night repeat every week in order to show the bits
they've had to cut out during the "kids' TV "slot at 6.45.
