Alterations

• In the episode 2x04 - The Kipper and the Corpse, a line of dialogue has been cut from a conversation early in the episode—most likely the result of a faulty master (no pun intended). When Mr. Leeman is ordering his breakfast in bed from Sybil, Basil makes a snarky remark. The original conversation is:

Sybil: Yes, we can. I'll call you back.

Basil: Is it your legs?

Mr. Leeman: I'm sorry?

Basil: Well, most of our guests manage to struggle down in the morning. I was wondering if you had something wrong with you?

On this DVD, there is a quick cut from the end of Sybil's line to Mr. Leeman's response, so now the conversation (a bit more confusingly) sounds like this:

Sybil: Yes, we can. I'll call you back.

Mr. Leeman: I'm sorry?

Basil: Well, most of our guests manage to struggle down in the morning. I was wondering if you had something wrong with you?
