THE MORE INTERESTING QUICK OVERVIEW

So the full copy I had of this one is 6mb, at 32kbps.  You can tell if it's the same one by listening around the 2:10 mark.  The sound drops out quite badly, there, for a little while.

The WS copy is similarly 32kbps but of a higher quality without any drop-outs.  I merged back in three bits from the original recording.

It's in my stash for anyone who wants it, or if you have a better copy, let me know.

THE BORING BIT

I think the version already in my collection was from someone's taped copy -- it plays a little slowly and actually varies in speed, being on average around 3.4% slower than the WS edit.  Couple that with the usual applause/pause edits made to speed the WS version up, and comparing these was rough.

I normalised the speed as best I could from the bits I inserted, and the transitions are more or less seamless.

From Dean's site, here's what's cut from the WS broadcast that I've restored from the other copy:

Edit 1:

NP: You have 60 seconds as usual...

LAUGHTER FROM THE AUDIENCE

NP: There's nothing particularly funny about that! But it might be funny when Paul starts to speak. Anyway

Edit 2:

Missing from WS:

NP: And literally, no. Anyway, I just like to let everybody know why and how I make my decisions. Peter...

PM: It would remain a mystery otherwise!

LAUGHTER FROM PJ AND THE AUDIENCE

Edit 3:

NP: Particularly from abroad! Anyway Derek Nimmo and Paul Merton...

PJ: What kind of a broad is it who writes to you?

NP: Those broads write about different points Peter!

These all seem to simply be timing edits to the banter, but the last two are certainly amusing moments that I wouldn't want to lose.
