I remember how we had to put up with the dodgy Millionaire edits (Series 5 onwards) where Virgin Media hacked away at so much of the contestant chatter that episodes had to be merged to make them hour-long broadcasts, which broke up the start and end of actual episodes. Which meant when we got the Series 1-4 broadcasts, it was a welcome difference where the only edits were to the phone number and the Millionaire break sting logo, due primarily to Challenge knowing there was no reason to cut out everything randomly.

AIUI the 'Classic Millionaire' compilation format was a Celador/Sony creation rather than a VMTV cut and stick effort. The same format appeared on other channels, notably True/Sony/'Great' Entertainment.

I don't doubt that Virgin then edited those edits for time though.
