apparently there are 3 versions heres a cut and paste from the dr who team
**The Paul McGann TV movie was not made by the BBC, although it was funded by BBC Worldwide. The BBC have the edited transmitted version / video release version in their own archive, plus the longer unedited version as shown in America. In addition, there is also an intermediate edit which, although minus the gun battle, still has the full operating table scene. This is the version premiered to the media - and a small group of fans - at BAFTA, prior to the video release and UK transmission. The BBC were also provided with an alternative opening sequence (the first 5 minutes) which was minus any on-screen captions (the credits during and after the title sequence)** i dont know if this longer version is available in UK on dvd
