UK Spots (Muppets Tonight)
From Muppet Wiki
(Redirected from Muppets Tonight UK Spots)
Due to Muppets Tonight being broadcast in the United Kingdom over the BBC (which does not have commercials), every episode of the series lasted two minutes longer than the United States version (similar to The Muppet Show). These extra segments have been referred to as "UK spots," though they have also been seen in Canada when the series was aired on The Family Channel.
When the series was originally broadcast, one viewer wrote to the listings magazine Radio Times complaining that many of the sketches were incomprehensible to a UK audience. Ironically, the example she gave was one of the UK spots.
