Comparison between the TV Version as broadcasted on the 16th of May 2013 and the Producer's Cut, taken from the US Blu-ray by Lionsgate.


- 1 alteration
- No difference in time


Although there were no indications during the broadcasts, and despite very explicit scenes that could be seen on TV, the advertisements for the home cinema release of this very recommendable series hinted at missing elements: "Unrated episodes featuring content that was cut for broadcast" were, for example, promised for the US release.
Five of the episodes are marked as "Producer's Cut" in the inlay and menus of the BD and are indeed different from the TV versions. However, there are no differences in running time, which means that it will be impossible to judge the contents of further releases on just the length. At least it can be said that all these changes are actually removed censoring and NOT the addition of scenes that were taken out of the episodes in order to tighten them up. These are all the episodes with alterations:

1x05: Coquilles
1x06: Entrée
1x08: Fromage
1x10: Buffet Froid
1x12: Relevés

In terms of censorship, episode 12 (Relevés) is not all too spectacular. It's the final Porducer's Cut episode of the first season. There is only one shot of Dr. Sutcliffe's corpse (compare it to episode 10) which was shortened for the TV Version. The tracking shot is not as explicit.

By the way: the UK BD was released a few weeks earlier but only contains the censored versions of the episodes.

Alternate Shot
20:30-20:31

The tracking shot of Dr. Sutcliffe's head upwards to Jack beings roughly one second later in the TV Version. Thus, the Producer's Cut shows more explicit material in a close-up shot.
In the TV Version you instead see the previous shot of the builing a little longer (not illustrated below).

No difference in time.
