Obviously, I’m in my feels and wanted to create something else for the reshowing that is happening Sunday’s on ITV. Canva is pretty limited on things in terms of specifics so I had to take some creative liberties especially with Larry and Margo. This took far too long (4 hours) for how basic it is, but when you’re bored and in your feels, you gotta do something. Maybe some of you will appreciate this anyway.
**Update: Originally, I had included Luga on here but the more I looked at it, the more I didn’t like it so I removed her. She was the hardest to find something for and while I’m sad to have taken her away, I think this just works a bit better.**
When you’re back at work, but not fully and things are slow, you obviously find a way to occupy your time by creating something for your favorite show you miss dearly.
A quick note: Some episodes of extended scenes had characters walking up the stairs, or walking up to the house door before the scene would continue. Therefore, I did not include those as cut scenes. Most of the episodes had between 6 and 8 extra scenes. But for some reason, episode 2 only had 3. I’m not sure if there was just something I missed or if this is truly how it was. Any other Americans who have seen this episode, let me know if I’ve missed anything and I will add it for everyone!

Descriptions of scenes from each episode:
Episode 1 - had a total of 6 cut /extended scenes
In the beginning, when Louisa tells the girls and Basil about how much rent will be, Gerry makes a comment and then Margo mocks him.
After Louisa has served Basil his breakfast, we see Margo enter and Louisa tells her to have fun at work. Then Margo grabs a piece of toast and leaves. After that, Basil makes a rude comment about her.
The first time we see Margo at work with Theo, they hear a commotion before Florence walks in. Margo says, “Please can this be a team of handsome cricket players needing x-rays?” And then there is another moment where Florence actually speaks to little Adonis about her hair.
When Louisa and Larry are out on the terrace chatting and Basil makes his comment about going to the loo, there is more dialogue between Larry and Louisa.
There is a scene between Gerry and Luga in the kitchen where they talk about the owl and then Luga says, “I will hit it with a broom.” Then Leslie walks in exclaiming, “Evict him!” This is followed by Louisa coming in to tell them she is going to market and asks Leslie to come along because they need a hatstand.
The final extended scene we see is after the police Superintendent has searched the house for Vang. Larry, Leslie, and Gerry walk him out and then the Super asks where Louisa has disappeared to.
Episode 2 - had only 3 extra scenes. This was an episode where we saw other little clips such as one of the pelicans walking out in the yard but it was like 3 seconds long so I didn’t include it.
Towards the beginning of the episode, there is a cut scene between Louisa, Florence, and Theo. She tells them about Margo “missing” and then Florence teases her for droning on about Spiros. Also, Louisa calls Theo an “Honorary woman.”
There is a scene of Basil trying to do things to impress Louisa after their discussion in the kitchen, we see her walk into the house and he is sitting on a bench darning. She tells him he doesn’t have to do it but he does anyway lol.
And finally, we see a scene of Louisa bandaging his thumbs because he has pricked them so many times. Then he says he’s going into town (to buy the bridge) and Louisa says, “Please look for Margo and tell her to come home.” There is some more dialogue before (with Gerry) and after this but I didn’t want to write out too much.
Episode 3 - had 6 cut /extended scenes
First of all, it has a completely different beginning. Instead of it starting with Louisa seeing Spiros and his wife in the market, Louisa does something funny (that I don’t want to give away). We then see her join Leslie in the sitting room and they discuss going to see Larry and the picnic. Also, the fancy bottle of wine was a gift to Larry from Henry Miller.
Then scene in the kitchen with Leslie, Basil, Luga, and two of the guests after the Countess says she’s going to call Luga ‘Jill,’ Leslie makes a comment about the other guest that is sitting at the table as well.
When Louisa gets back from the market after seeing Spiros and his wife and then Leslie goes up to her room, there is more dialogue between them as he asks Louisa what Dimitria was like.
As they are on their journey to visit Larry after poor Theo has gotten sick over Leslie, there is a bit of an extended scene where Luga exclaims, “We’re here!” and then we see Leslie put his shorts back on.
In the Taverna with Creech, after he has admitted to reading Louisa’s letter to Larry, Theo scolds him about it.
The last different scene is when they are all getting back in Spiros’ car to leave the Taverna. Instead of the dialogue between Louisa and Dimitria where Lou says, “What a chance to get to know each other better.” and Dimitria replies, “We already know each other well enough.” Leslie and Gerry switch places with Luga so that she can sit by the “window” seat since she gets carsick. And then Louisa makes a comment, “Wriggling about. Reminds me of being pregnant.”(I may have screeched lol)
Episode 4 - had 8 in total.
When we see Margo trying to tutor Maud at the beginning of the episode, this is extended a bit.
We actually see a scene of Louisa walking through Corfu town on her way to Florence’s and people whispering about her. Then I have combined it with the scene of her getting the list of things from Florence. Originally, at the end of that scene Louisa said, “That’s your my lips are sealed face.” and then the scene ended. However, this time we heard Florence reply, “Possibly more than a flirt.” in reference to Dimitria.
Before the little montage of all the neighbors spying on them, there is a tiny scene between Leslie and Gerry.
When Louisa returns from talking to Theo and finds Spiros in the kitchen and he offers her tea, we actually see him removing the kettle from the stove. Then he sees her enter and greets her with, “Welcome home!” (100% screeched and then died at that). I included the rest of the scene that followed after that because GDI THEY ARE JUST SO CUTE!
When Louisa gathers all of the guests together to tell them they need to be on their best behavior and Veronica makes the comment, “You harbored a fugitive.” Louisa says, “Let’s not rake over the past.” and then mentions that she received a postcard from Vang saying that he has a job.
Later, before Louisa and the boys return home from church and are making fun of the service, we actually see them walking out looking exhausted and Pavlos comments that he hopes to see them again.
When Louisa asks Theo and Spiros what they can do to make the people of Corfu think better of them again, the scene is slightly extended. Harry and Lumos walk in and offer to dance with each other and of course, Luga comes in with a hilarious quip.
At the very end of the episode, when Louisa is in the kitchen before Spiros comes in and asks if he can move in for a bit, the Countess is with her and they talk about Gerry.
Episode 5 - 8 cut or extended scenes
The first 12 minutes of the episode is the same, but when we see Gerry cleaning out of one of the zoo cages and Theo comes to speak to him, the scene is extended.
The scene between Louisa and Florence where they talk about the pastries Lou and Spiros have made, the scene is extended at the end. She asks Florence where all of her patients are.
The second time we see Margo on the train is extended a bit.
There is more dialogue between Leslie and Gerry in the Boy Scout scene when Leslie takes his woggle.
When Louisa goes up to Basil’s room to confront him about Dimitria, there is more dialogue before he says that he’s going to leave.
In the scene where the boys are now sleeping in Louisa’s room and they are chatting, there is a bit more dialogue between the three of them. Louisa says something along the lines of them being more Greek now (*heart eyes*).
After Spiros goes home to grab his suit that he will be wearing for the king, we see Louisa in the kitchen asking one of the guests what he thinks of the pastries she’s made. He just shakes his head and she mutters under her breath, “Missing you more than ever Spiros.”(That took me out)
And the last extended scene we see is when they are waiting in the square to watch the movie. Gerry walks up and apologizes to Leslie about being a “brat” before. Then there is a bit more between them and a great ‘Louisa-sips-her-wine face’ from Keeley.
Episode 6 - 8 scenes in total. Sadly, nothing special between Louisa and Spiros, especially that scene from the promo that was also cut from the ITV version (S: “It’s not about me.” L: “It is. I want it to be.”). I was really hoping it would be included in the PBS version, but for whatever reason, it was not and I’m upset.
The scene in which Gerry is explaining some animals to people at his Zoo, but Galini has to translate for him is extended.
When we see Luga walking through the town with the props for the show, there is actually another line she says to herself about the poster that she stops to look at.
After Margo has spoken to Nikos and Theo walks in, she asks him to ring the breakfast gong and then Larry comes in.
Directly after that, the dialogue between Larry and Leslie is a bit different.
We actually see a scene of Theo and Gerry caging up all of his animals to set them free.
Then we see a scene of Leslie, Louisa, and Luga talking about them leaving. This is slightly extended with Louisa seeing Gerry chasing after one of the pelicans.
Just before Margo comes in to talk to Louisa about waiting until marriage, we see Louisa gathering some things from the kitchen and then greeting two guests and telling them about the play.
And finally, after Louisa and Spiros’ scene at the beach, we are taken back to the play and see a bit of Dr. P’s part (lol).
