We were robbed … 

Sorry… It was such a wonderful scene but Episode 1 just worked better without it. Still, I’m glad they let us put even a chunk of it on the DVD.

Wait, did you have to fight to get scenes put on or something? Why??

Because the left hand of the BBC didn’t know what the right hand was doing, and whoever was in charge of content for the BBC didn’t think people wanted Deleted Scenes or Commentaries. Which meant that when we found out, and told people that no, there wouldn’t be any deleted scenes or commentaries, the BBC discovered that Hell hath no fury like a fan who is going to be depirved of a deleted scene.

At that point though, we had to get the deleted scenes on fast, and the commentaries likewise. Proud of what we managed in the time constraints, though.
