Was the BBC2 broadcast cut ??? (March 2010)


I've just watched this unusual film for the first time in my life and enjoyed it.
However, about 11 mins into the film where Ginley is talking to his brothers wife (Billie Whitelaw) he says "I say, I say, I say" then theres a jump in the film and he moves backwards away from her. Was the joke cut out ?

I noticed a few other odd jumps in the film further on but I suppose they could just be film wear/deterioration.

It's a very unusual film but as many familiar faces pop up throughout you can't help but enjoy it.
Nice to see Harry Cross from Brookside !
Anybody remember Valentine Park with Ken Jones, back in the day ???

If it was on BBC2 then its unlikely to have been edited. BBC2 and Channel 4 do not tend to edit films for content.

Its that man again!!
