MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE CTV VERSION AND THIS ABC2 VERSION;

- The CTV version has segment end and start graphics where the commercial breaks were whereas this ABC2 version was broadcast commercial-free
- The CTV version has been censored; the audio of the word 'bitch' has been removed (this takes place when Sting is talking about his concern about 'Roxanne' being titled with a girl's name when, at the time it was written, punk songs had titles like 'I'm Gonna Kill You, You Bitch'). This ABC2 version is not censored.
- The CTV version has the end credits superimposed over the final song whereas this ABC2 version allows the song to end and is then followed
