I've had a few of the S1 episodes repeated on ITV4 on in the background as been doing other things at the time recently and noticed they've not been cut too much/badly compared to other things like The Pro's/Sweeney etc.
There's been a few little snips here/there but they've not been butchered as much as they were when they got split into two 30 min episodes pre watershed in 1988 and the absolutely p*** poor repeats Drama had in recent years which lost about 5 to 10 minutes of the episodes and much of what made it great to begin with.
I know ITV4 are showing this way after 9pm and later repeats and do have the usual 'past attitudes' disclaimers at the start but it's a refreshing change for them to be as near as possible complete on a repeat on telly without TPTV doing the honours.
Hopefully ITV4 will do Series 2 as well, not really bothered if they show the stuff the BBC made.
