Come Fly with Me unedited
Nine will need to make some minor cuts to play Come Fly with Me at 8pm, but you can still watch the full version later.

Next Monday night Nine premieres its new series Come Fly with Me starring Little Britain boys David Walliams and Matt Lucas.
Set in an airport, the two unleash their outrageous style on the staff and passengers of a busy airport. While it isn’t quite as over the top as Little Britain, it will require some minor edits in order to play in a PG timeslot at 8pm.
But the full unedited version will air later on Monday night on GO!
You can catch them in all their glory at 10pm.

What else do you expect from the apes over there at Nine?
This programme’s promotions are funny. I think I’ll like this show.
@David Dyer – the trouble is that some bright spark in Nine’s acquisitions dept has obviously seen how well decent BBC content does on the ABC and SBS, and figured that they would like a slice of that pie. The trouble is that they didn’t take into account two things: 1. smart, witty comedy is a mismatch for their traditional audience; and 2. that the program schedule is controlled by over-reactive clueless twonks.
It took Nine less than 3 months to kill the golden goose that was Top Gear. Unfortunately, I don’t think CFWM is going to fare much better. It hasn’t started yet and they’ve already scheduled a repeat.
I have said it…and I’ll say it again, BBC Worldwide stuff will not fly on Nine, and forget about watching it on GO!. It’s better if you wait for the DVD to come out.
(I can’t believe the ABC isn’t getting the rights to this!)
Also, do yourself a favour and watch Masterchef instead!
PS. Start petitioning now to have CFWM on ABC1 instead (after Spicks and Specks)!
Why do nine think this will work in an 8pm timeslot?
I don’t get it! Screw you Nine …not waiting anymore and now to hear this.
Ah, I was right when I surmised that this slot would be too early and wondered if they would be cutting the ruder bits out. Not watching anything at 10pm now that Dexter’s in repeat so I’ll catch the “hopefully” unedited version.
I thought it was a bit odd that the original ads having a PG logo in it, I thought ‘as if this shows’ PG material’. then I noticed it being replayed on GO going for 40 minutes and the Nine airing goes for 30 minutes with ads so there you go! I was gonna tape the replay anyway cause it clashes with a couple of other things at 7:30 – 8:30 for me.
If they have to edit a show from a time slot, then it’s not suitable for the time slot. Put it in an appropriate time slot.
The editing of a show for a timeslot is never a good thing especially a comedy.
Anyone with half a brain knows this isn’t PG TV so why bother putting it on at 8???
Good decision by Nine. It doesn’t seem as though the show fits at all on Nine, anyway. I wonder why they didn’t show it 8.30 or 9.30 on Go as an exclusive.
how ridiculous… i’ve seen this episode and there is nothing in it that warrants (or justifies) any editing.
Awesome cause I go out on Monday nights and record other stuff at 8.00. Now I can get home and watch the proper version! It will end up on GO! only after 2 weeks anyway…
How stupid that they will screen an edited version on Nine. Why not just show the full ep in a later slot?
I don’t like the show but I hate that Nine has to make cuts to some shows to fit the time slot, I wonder how many will not even know things have been cut?
Will Nine advertise the ‘uncut’ version can only be seen on GO!?
