* EditedForSyndication: Later screenings of season five's "Keep Young and Beautiful" have heavily re-edited the scene where Pike, Walker and Godfrey try to pick a volunteer to go into the office to have a look at Captain Mainwaring's new wig, and Pike recites a version of "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" which includes the racial slur "nigger" in the second line, with Walker getting the 'moe'; Walker then continues the rhyme, "O-U-T spells out, you must go", so Pike ends up being 'it' instead. In the revised version, only the rhyme's opening line is spoken by Pike before he points to Walker and says "It's you, go on." The scene appears intact on the DVD release.

** All of the episodes were edited in The90s for [[Creator/TheBBC BBC1]] to fit a thirty-minute runtime that would fit the repeat schedules. When [=BBC2=] wanted to air the repeats, [=BBC1=] refused to let them use their edits, so [=BBC2=] needed to have their own edited versions made.
