Slight correction to the original post - TMHT did NOT premiere on Going Live in September 1990! In fact it was on CBBC afternoons at 4.35pm (Wednesdays until "Beneath these Streets", then Tuesdays) from January 1990. "Return of the Shredder" was indeed the first episode shown, and the run ended with "The Sword of Nowhere" (note, no Ninja in the title!) Mid way through season 3.
My first episode was "Curse of the Evil Eye" in late January. At the same time, issue #1 of the TMHT Adventures comic was in the shops! I picked that up and continued to collect the comic. The Going Live run in September was a repeat showing...and this time I was there ready with a VHS tape to get all the episodes I had previously missed. I have fond memories of the Hero Turtles (hence the name!) Edit:regarding why the BBC didnt get season 4 onward. It was the same reason they only purchased season 1 of Thundercats. Because they screened weekly, circa 60-65 episodes were enough to run over several years (Thundercats screened 30 episodes of the 65 episode season 1 in 1987, then repeated them, and then didnt screen the remainder until 1990... by which point it had been five years since the US showed them!!). So it was not so much being outbid by Sky (BBC and Sky often purchased American programmes as a joint bid -splitting the terrestrial and satellite rights e.g. Star Trek Next Gen), but rather just wanting to save the money!

So to answer your questions yes BBC only showed Seasons 2 and 3. Sky One showed at least Season 1-7 as part of The DJ Kat Show: and if you had the right channels you would have grown up with this channel: so if you didn't have Sky or satellite you were screwed. The show was still edited for its first four seasons but at least we got to see all the episodes. I felt so lucky to get new episodes and I felt sorry for all those kids that never got to see after Season 3. |

There's also a Planet of the Turtleoids commercial but can't find it. Quote:

That's right although unlike Turtles BBC ended up eventually screening all seven seasons of TNG some years after Sky did. |

If anyone is curious this is the version of the intro they used for season 4 on wards. They even kept it for the Red Sky seasons.

Not quite. They cut out the part were the turtles jump out of the manhole in front of the Channel 6 building that leads into the mutating logo and the end were they throw the pizza at the screen which again morphs into the logo. It's not much but it is different. |

The online Internet archive has a VHS rip of the UK VHS for ?Invasion of the Punk Frogs? and ?Case of the Killer Pizzas?. I would link them here, but I?m not sure how the moderators would feel about the legality of this

I am American, and I can never understand Europe's ban on the nun chucks which is a real ancient weapon used during Japan's hey day, and it was ok for Swords and Sai's to not be ban. It really made no sense to me. Historic wise, there is nothing out of the normal of what a Japanese warrior would be using with the 4 turtles. It just made no sense to me. It would be like making a movie about Greece, and say we cant show the Dory its ban in our country. But the Xiphos is ok to show.

If it was a gang issue, than I agree with them removing Baseball bats and knives. They did that right lol. In the US, the mob's main force weapon was a baseball bat. I know the tommy gun gets more media attention and all, but when they wanted money from you, most often it would be a bat to the knees or something like that.

Didn’t realise the show aired on FKids too. I assumed that was only the 2003 series https://youtu.be/29byI6Cuq00
