Its ironic really, as the Virgin edits aren't consistent.  You can get one with a small amount of cutting and then the next one has half the contestant introductions chopped out.  You'd have thought if they were going to chop all the "meet the contestants" stuff out they'd have done it on all the episodes of Series 11, not just half or some of them.

Sky will probably be in for a shock if they ever get new prints from ITV of the Bullseye episodes Virgin hacked away at...  "Oh that's interesting, why is this new copy 26 minutes when what we already have is only 21?"

The intention was to make the episode lengths consistent wasn't it, so they could fit rigidly in their clockface schedule (always meeting the top of the hour, even if it meant padding every flipping double bill of 1 vs 100 with a matching 5-10 minute Auntie's Bloomers to fill the gap) and consistently have the longest breaks possible.
