Before they all started sliding around like no tomorrow

[Rogg]

About 3 seconds of the Doctor Who episode in that listing survives. It's the first clip on this vid.

[Rogg]

In that vid is what was cut by the Australian censor. They edited the BBC's prints for their own broadcast. They were clearly more snowflakey than us solid British chaps.

They kept the bits they cut and incinerated the rest. The BBC destroyed theirs too of course. Tremendous. These are called 'censor clips' and are all that remain of this and many other episodes.

Sunday 18th May 1980.

Would you like a fizzy drinks maker?
