I'm not surprised at all. They also cut some of the talking segments here too.

I download the episodes because I can't wait for them to air here and I notice that they tend to cut some of the news segments and the some of the interviews with the stars in the reasonably priced cars. To be honest, most Americans don't know who 80% of the guests are anyway. Though, I enjoy the banter between Jeremy and the guest I could see most people here not caring since they don't know them.

I expect they cut stuff for the ads anyway so this time it's a no-brainer. I barely know who John Bishop is (last week's SIARPC). Simon Pegg this Sun -- nm - LMS Feb 11, 10:14 9
- Oh, that's right, there are no ads when it airs on the BBC. - Krusty Feb 11, 10:22 8
  - Sure, you need to watch Black Books, The IT Crowd and Father Ted, Coupling, Blackadder, Miranda , The Trip for comedies. - LMS Feb 11, 10:26 7 1
    - Father Ted and Coupling are musts -- nm - J Feb 11, 10:36
    - Thank you very much! I saw a few episodes of Black Books, very funny. Love Bill Bailey, always funny when I see him on something. - Krusty Feb 11, 10:28 5
      - Bill is an amazing stand-up. If you can you should check out his shows. - LMS Feb 11, 10:33 4
        
        I didn't know he did stand-up, I'll look for it. I might not understand everything he says though. :-) - Krusty Feb 11, 10:36 3
        
        And I didn't even get started on the drama stuff. Here's a clip of Bill doing one of his songs. -- (link) - LMS Feb 11, 10:38 [youtube] 2
        
        Very funny! I'm going to look for his stand-up tonight. Thanks. -- nm - Krusty Feb 11, 10:49
        
        I'll bother you in a few months for drama recommendations. - Krusty Feb 11, 10:42
