Has Aramis spent the last few years frantically distilling in the cellar? (that's not a euphemism)

Heheheheh! So now we know why the celibacy wasn't a problem.

I didn't notice too many of the cuts (apart from the adorable pony) because I have a terrible memory.

Wondering now if the pre-watershed slot means we'll only get the recut versions on the DVD instead of the full eps. I hope not.

*insert dirty habits joke here*

is it on earlier next week then? I heard rumours of an 8.30 slot, but this one was on at 9.30 I think? I dunno, I was away (seeing Howie in King John!) and just caught up on iplayer, and have been avoiding all internets for fear of spoilers.

Yeah, it's moving to 8.30 next week (and the rest of the series unless they decide to mess us around even more grrr) and the production team are annoyed about having to recut the episodes for pre-watershed viewing so we're not getting the series they intended

Pretty much a series of screw ups all around this season!

finding ways to fuck the series over right to the end, yep, that sounds like the bbc!

How cut? Why cut? What? Will the one on iPlayer not be the right one?

most of the rest of the world had the series weeks and weeks before us, the first version I saw had been cut to 45 mins (presumably for adverts) so the bbc one from Saturday is finally the 'full' one - but I think there's been some bits cut for the censor maybe? I dunno, I've basically had to abandon the entire internet for the last 2 months to avoid spoilers.

Ah, thank you! That makes it clear *g* Well I will hasten to iPlayer then, I've missed them!
