I'll do a new Who Review probably tomorrow but they CUT one of my favorite scenes in the whole episode.

I found it on Youtube of course

I didn't see it, but terri_osborne informs me that they cut a much more important scene toward the end....

(I suspect that scene was cut for licensing reasons.)

They cut the scene with Martha's Mum and the gun and the Doctor talking her down from killing the Master.

That's the scene I'm talking about. The scene you linked to wasn't of critical plot import -- the scene with Martha's mum very much was.

I'm not sure I understand what cutting that scene has to do with licensing. Could you explain?

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

They may not have had the music rights to "I can't Decide" in the US.

Or, wait. Did you mean that they cut the first scene because they couldn't license the music rights? And the second scene they just cut for commercials?

They'd better keep everything on the DVDs, that's all I have to say.

Yeah, I meant the scene with the music may have been cut for licensing purposes.

The FOB was still there
