I'm guessing that was cut from the original airings? Not sure I remember that one.

Arhh yes Flakey Pete! Cant believe it was cut that was a great moment.

Here's hoping for an uncut season 3 from Germany then :D

Well, unedited season 1 is out, season 2 is on its way, so I think we can hope for the rest. :) (fingers crossed)

Digging out my VHS tapes right now - I'll try to have that for you sometime today :) That's a clip that I've been meaning to get on my YouTube page for the longest time.

I have my tapes out, but I'm currently having issues connecting my VCR to my computer. I acquired a new one recently (4-head, hi-fi, stereo) to replace my old one, but can't seem to get it working...will keep trying and keep you updated.

That would be good, thanks.

Dissapointing it was cut from the German uncut release, can't see why :(

The German DVDs are said to be "uncut," but there are a few. The following (that I know of) are still edited:

Try to Remember
For Your Eyes Only
Somewhere Over the Rerun

This could also be added to the list if it is indeed not on the German discs.

Oh yeah, I laughed so hard when I saw that as a kid! I need to add that song reference to the Wiki. Does anyone have a clip of this?

The side note on this: it's odd that they would cut this from the DVD, since I'm pretty sure it's public domain ("Down By the Riverside"). Other songs I'm pretty sure have been cut for licensing reasons.

I doubt it's cut from the DVD, it's the first I've heard of it if so.

Maybe it was another episode and not Turkey and Straw?

It is in the episode "My Back Pages" - not sure why I got that wrong. My apologies for that. Willie wakes up from his dream and asks ALF "Are you eating again?" ALF says, "No, still!" :lol:

Excellent, thank you, I was getting worried that Turkey and Straw was edited!
Would you like me to send you the clip where ALF sings the song?

Love that quote, one of my favourites :D
