Removed Scene

The International Version lacks the "Uptown Girl" montage subsequent to the recap. Then Alex waking up on her couch, the TV is still on. She switches the channel and says "Where is everybody?".
With the scene at the station where "Uptown Girl" is being played on the radio, the versions are back in sync resp. the International Version begins with that scene.

Please note: in the International Version, another song is being played. The reason is probably the missing "Uptown Girl" montage which will be referred to several times. Although, even with that montage, I can't think of any reason whatsoever why the song on the radio needed to be replaced.

After Gene's "Now listen up! Keats is in today, he wants to interview you all about the efficiency of the ship I run.", the International Version continues with a shot of Alex.
In the UK Version, the scene goes on.
Gene: "What are you looking at?"
Alex: "Nothing."
Then Gene in the "Uptown Girl" montage for a brief moment. Apparently, Alex recalls it at the very moment she is looking at Gene. Gene then turns around and returns to his office.
With the following shot of Alex, the versions are back in sync.

Alternate Footage
03:43

Only the German DVD contains the additional titel "Zurück in die 80er" ("Back to the 80s). For obvious reasons, the UK DVD only contains the original show title. Furthermore, the German title of the episode follows after the opening. In the UK Version, the title does not appear.

Please note: I am well aware that this is irrelevant for international audiences, but I would not be surprised if this alteration had been made in other (non-English speaking) countries as well.

Alex: "What's the matter with her?"
Chris: "No idea."
Alex: "Well, have you asked her?"
Chris: "She won't give me the time of day."
Alex: "Alright, I'll have a word."
Chris: "Thanks, ma'am."
Chris turns around and intends to leave but Alex has a question for him regarding Sam Tyler.
Alex: "Chris! Ehm… You were friends with Sam Tyler, weren't you?"
Chris: "Well, not sure about 'friends'. He was more of a mentor really. Amazing bloke."
Alex: "Were you there when they found his car in the river?"
Chris: "No, ehm… The blaggers split up and so did we. It was the Guv and Ray who found his car."
Alex: "Right. Thanks."
Chris: "Why do you ask?"
Alex: "No reason."
Chris smiles at her, then he leaves.
Now, Shaz now approaches Alex in the International Version as well. In other words, the versions are back in sync.
