Ah yes, Mind the Baby… was delayed for over a year. I believe it was supposed to follow In Room 426, which was first shown in the earlier part of 1993. (As a side note, it was the first episode not to be networked by Thames.)
Do-It-Yourself was shown in January 1994, so you had the oddity of episodes being shot on both film and video, which Do-It-Yourself was. Notably, this episode also had the bonus scene of him buying the armchair which was never shown officially in the UK, but I believe was shown on PBS. There’s also a bonus scene in Merry Christmas… where Bean wins the turkey, it’s not shown on TV but it did end up on the video and DVD releases.
Usually when they show The Curse of… now which tends to show up on ITV4 daytime occasionally they tend to remove the scene where his front side is exposed in front of the group of female swimmers.
I never saw much of the Nickelodeon edits, but I remember they made a strange edit on The Return of… when they omitted the bit where he stops at the end of the escalator. Strange choice of acquisition for a kids channel.
