There are many strange edits, I remember I saw one once where a contestant got a question right on Strike it Lucky, Barrymore started moving and the next thing we knew was fade to black and the other contestant had struck the sccreen as they say. I can only presume Barrymore (who to be fair did do a lot of ad-hoc comedy and impressions on that show at seemingly random) launched into Jake The Peg or something en-route.
The other edit I remember was when they had the brown set on SiL (which was only Series 6 IIRC) and they chopped out Barrymore using an old lady as a ventriloquist's dummy, so it looked like he picked her up just to see how heavy she was (or wasn't).
Then of course there are all the Virgin Media edits to Family Fortunes, Bullseye and no doubt others that they're still using best part of 15 years later...
Some edits around end of parts as well, as they used to chop all that "end of Part One" out but they seem to have undone a lot of that.
Plain as the nose on your face when the edit was in the cue dot period as well
